I love this song. My favourite ever, truth be told.
As part of the "MY ARMS, YOUR HEARSE" concept album, it's part of the ghost story told from the perspective of the ghost, and basically is about the first time the ghost haunts his beloved widow. She, however, doesn't see him as anything but a white mist, and only for a second before she runs away in maddened fear. So the ghost returns to the forest to wait out the rest of the season, pledging to endure and try to reach her again soon. The haunter is haunted himself by dreams of his loved one's face.
