It's colder than before
The seasons took all they had come for
Now winter dances here
It seems so fitting don't you think?
To dress the ground in white and grey
It's so quiet I can hear
My thoughts touching every second
That I spent waiting for you
Circumstances affords me
No second chance to tell you
How much I've missed you
My beloved do you know
When the warm wind comes again
Another year will start to pass
And please don't ask me why I'm here
Something deeper brought me
Than a need to remember
We were once young and blessed with wings
No heights could keep us from their reach
No sacred place we did not soar
Still, greater things burned within us
I don't regret the choices that I've made
I know you feel the same
My beloved do you know
How many times I stared at clouds
Thinking that I saw you there
These are feelings that do not pass so easily
I can't forget what we claimed as ours
Moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
My beloved do you know
When the warm wind comes again
Another year will start to pass
And please don't ask me why I'm here
Something deeper brought me
Than a need to remember
My beloved do you know
How many times I stared at clouds
Thinking that I saw you there
These are feelings that do not pass so easily
I can't forget what we claimed as ours
Moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
The seasons took all they had come for
Now winter dances here
It seems so fitting don't you think?
To dress the ground in white and grey
It's so quiet I can hear
My thoughts touching every second
That I spent waiting for you
Circumstances affords me
No second chance to tell you
How much I've missed you
My beloved do you know
When the warm wind comes again
Another year will start to pass
And please don't ask me why I'm here
Something deeper brought me
Than a need to remember
We were once young and blessed with wings
No heights could keep us from their reach
No sacred place we did not soar
Still, greater things burned within us
I don't regret the choices that I've made
I know you feel the same
My beloved do you know
How many times I stared at clouds
Thinking that I saw you there
These are feelings that do not pass so easily
I can't forget what we claimed as ours
Moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling

Moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Moments lost though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits

In the beginning of the song, he speaks about returning to the place where he experienced his relationship with his love. In the middle, he reminisces about his experiences in love, and how it changed him. And at the end, he speaks about the life leaving him as he waits to rejoin his love.
"It seems so fitting don't you think
To dress the ground in white and grey."
Symbolizing sorrow, death of both him and his love
"Circumstances afford me
no second chance to tell you
How much I've missed you."
Hints that his lover is deceased, or their relationship is unsalvageable
"I can't forget what we claimed as ours."
His inability to let go of the past, and the fact that it's dragging him down in the present
"No pain remains, no feeling.
Eternity awaits.
Grant me wings that I might fly.
My restless soul is longing.
No pain remains, no feeling.
Eternity awaits."
Him fading from life and waiting to rejoin his lover, the angelic imagery symbolizing him going into the afterlife
Depressing, but still one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
But for me it's about himself the person he is now reflecting open who he was .
I don't reget the choices i have made I know you feel the same.
He knows this b/c it was him
Yes, he speaks of a person who is no longer with him, they have died. But people can leave you in many ways even if they still remain alive in this world.
To me, this song is about A loss in life.. of someone dying in your heart and you know you can never have them/that again. He is thinking back to the time they loved and lived together and realizing he can't go back.. there's no "second chance" No chance to make things like they once were.. pure and full of life.
But that doesn't mean he has forgotten and memories keep this alive.. he is coming to terms with the loss as I guess we all must do.. and most of all coming to terms with himself, alone and away from this person.. *Eternity Awaits..*
