I feel this song is about a man who is love with a woman who is engaged to someone that isn’t him. Someone who he had a past relationship with. She doesn’t feel the same way about him.
He was a captain of industry
He was a captain of the sea, oh
He was a gentle man
With cracks and lines across his hands, oh
Iron waves crashed on his face
Made him feel less alone, oh
She was engaged to be a bride
With eyes so true, he could have cried, oh
She watched him cry on his knees
"Dear Ollie, please let me be," oh
Iron waves crashed on his face
Made him feel less alone, oh
"Ollie," she said, "leave me be"
"Ollie," she said, "leave me be"
She left him, and he left everything
She left him, he left everything
She left him, he left everything
