Two Winters Ago

This is my favorite song from the Bandits, because it makes me ponder so much. I belive there is more than one meaning to this song, I haven't been able to figure any. I went to their site and left a message on the b board, but no responce. I guess the lyrics explain it all. This song is very powerful to me.

It sounds like he's singing about a love that he had to leave unwillingly. Perhaps because of a physical move or emotional changes?
