The lyrics immediately reminded my of the original movie (1940's ?)
   "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir"
in which the ghost of a  sea-captain, whose home is now occupied by
widowed (?) Mrs. Muir and her son, appears to her, etc. etc., they
become fond of each other, he tells her "stories about the sea" -
eventually she dies, and joins him.
