"Across the Sea" also has strong ties to the name of the album, ''Pinkerton''. In the play ''[[Madame Butterfly]]'', Pinkerton is the name of the colonel who falls in love with a Japanese woman, Cio Cio-San (or actually Madame Butterfly herself), but has to leave her in Japan and return to America. Hence, Pinkerton was across the sea from Butterfly. When Pinkerton returns to Japan, Butterfly eventually is murdered. Emotions from this part of the play are mentioned in the song "[[Butterfly]]". | "Across the Sea" also has strong ties to the name of the album, ''Pinkerton''.
