Error in structure section

[edit]

There is an error in the interpretation of the song laid out in the "Structure" section. The writer says the ending of the song is "a happier event - an attempted suicide that ends as a miracle cure." However, the lyrics heshe refers to read:

"She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore And to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no more But then a sight shed never seen made her jump and say Look a golden winged ship is passing my way

And it really didnt have to stop, it just kept on going...

And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually"

which clearly indicates that the ship did not stop, and thus the girl remained in her unfortunate state.

Unless somebody objects, I'm going to correct the Structure section. Abidagus (talk) 21:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, the lyrics even you yourself included that it was a miracle cure. the lyrics state she was a cripple and couldn't speak, but after she saw the "golden-winged ship" she JUMPED UP and SAID, "Look a golden-winged ship is passing me by," therefore speaking and leaving the wheelchair.
