The more we rush about, the less we do
I never saw you drift away
The more we spin around, the less we move
I never saw your spirit break
I wish that I could be a journey's end
But you are only passing through, yeah
It's not for me to try to steal your way
I wish you well in all you do
Just say you'll watch how you go
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now
Just say you'll mind how you roam
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now
I hope you know that you're a graceful soul
You fill the room with hope and light
It's only right that you should go your way
'Cause nothing ever lasts that long
Just say you'll watch how you go
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now
Just say you'll mind how you roam
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now
Behind now, behind now, behind now
Just say you'll watch how you go
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now
Just say you'll mind how you roam
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
The things that we have shared
Will still remain behind now
I never saw you drift away
The more we spin around, the less we move
I never saw your spirit break
I wish that I could be a journey's end
But you are only passing through, yeah
It's not for me to try to steal your way
I wish you well in all you do
Just say you'll watch how you go
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now
Just say you'll mind how you roam
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now
I hope you know that you're a graceful soul
You fill the room with hope and light
It's only right that you should go your way
'Cause nothing ever lasts that long
Just say you'll watch how you go
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now
Just say you'll mind how you roam
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now
Behind now, behind now, behind now
Just say you'll watch how you go
Be gracious with your light
And may the years be kind now
Just say you'll mind how you roam
The things that we have shared
Will soon be left behind now
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
The things that we have shared
Will still remain behind now

This song is cleary about breaking up. There's no one to blame and there's no angry in that, so the person says to her to keep living and don't make reckless decisions in anything that she's gonna do.
I reckon there's something about distance. In "I wish that I could be the journey's end
But you are only passing through, yeah", could mean more than just a period of life. Maybe they meet in a business travel, enjoyed each other, but they need to get back to where they came from, to their lives. And it hurts, because they really had a good time together.
But memories are made frequently, specially in a relationship, so all the things that they've been through and shared will fade someday, in a few years.
I found this song pretty sad, but it gives a good message. Be gracious with your life, even if this isn't important to you, it's important to someone else.
For some reason the relationship ended, and when you looked back at it you figured out why it didn't last long. However, what you did next is not trying to save it or get her back, but just wishing to cherish the good old memories and live on it. But it makes you feel sad when you find out how quickly the memories fade away as the time slipping by. You once thought you could have been the one she spent the lifetime with, but since it didn't work out, you choose not to blame her or anyone. You are just trying to tell her not to walk too fast in the next relationship and wish her all the best.
Because how you feel when you're with someone is much more important than the memories it created. Memories fade but moments remain...
I never saw you drift away
The more we spin around, the less we move
I never saw your spirit break"
1st part is pretty clear, because the more we fuss, the worse things come out.
Strange, that nobody noticed that part:
"I wish that I could be a journey's end
But you are only passing through, yeah"
In my mind, what he means - is that he wanted her to be his last love, the one he would stay with until the end of his days. He wanted to be the only and the last love for her also, but she just passed through and went to another guy.
Then he just says how graceful she is and wishes her good luck. It's a very good thing especially from a man.
What I don't understand in this song is
"Just say you'll watch how you go"
Maybe the case is my bad english, can somebody explain me the meaning? How can she say, that she will watch how SHE goes?
