181 1 11. You can say either. Both are somewhat ambiguous. "In the sea" could mean "on the surface of the sea" or "passing through the sea" (e.g. an island in the sea). "Under the sea" could mean "beneath the surface of the sea" or "beneath the seabed." In practice, I'd guess the first is more ambiguous since people rarely talk about things ...
Mar 16, 2016 · The words, 'That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea' are crucial to this mournful meditation on a (supposedly potential) lover's emotional distance.
