Well, seen from this point of view it makes a lot more sense, and it's even more touching. So, it would talk about everyday moments and other more important ones: a sunset at Easter, the fact he has been a firm point for her (the rope-landslide part) in some part of her life, a lov
e of his life (the Dalhousie castle part), his capacity to move her ("Yes, you could stir"), and some moment in Barcelona. The fact it's all about a toast is not reductive, according to me, but perfectly in tone with the rest of the song, which is really familiar, and talks about t
he loss just as a momentary absence, which allows her to recollect all the nice moments of their life together. Beautiful song, anyway. Like more the chorus than the verse, but fine anyway.
