This album was recently released in the States (I believe it was released in the UK over a year ago.. possibly longer.) Love this song, it's pretty but always struggled wiht the lyrics. It seesm to be very siritual in certain ways... but almost Emersonian (of the Ralph Waldo vareity) in others. I agree it's generally about reminiscence, but in context that we are here a very short time, and nature provides continuity and familiarity. It's a theory anyway.
