Is Joni comparing the "woman of the song" to the ocean crashing on to the
strange boy as he lays on the beach?
"I crashed into his arms..."

We got high on travel
And we got drunk on alcohol
And on love the strongest poison and medicine of all
See how that feeling comes and goes
Like the pull of moon on tides
Now I am surf rising
Now parched ribs of sand at his side
I think that she's comparing how love comes and goes to the waxing and the
waning of the moon. Fullness, then emptiness. Just her creative style of
poetry.
Just my 2 cents
