Brilliant sleuthing Walter a.k.a. "B"

the lyrics on St Elmo's fire are indeed very similar to Sarah/Beth's conundrum
see:-

(chorus)
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing sky
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me.

Just cross the wildest sea
not swim the seven seas
but close enough Sarah/Beth??
