I listened to the cbc radio session for Great Lake Swimmers, and this song was described as a "song about hibernation", so maybe it is a little more literal than one might think. It's a beautiful song nonetheless. Leaves you wondering why the person went into hibernation. I can see the romance angle too, but in a different way. Hiding from a lover, then returning to them with even more love and adoration...
