I love the idea that this is a ghost story like the movie "The Others", in which a man died in a storm at sea and his ghost has returned to the place of his greatest passion in life - under the Walnut Tree. He continues to wait for his love there, not quite aware that he is a ghost (like Bruce Willis in "Sixth Sense") and since the woman he loves passed from this life centuries ago, he will continue his endless waiting. The song probably doesn't mean that at all, but the piano is appropriately haunting for a ghost story, don't you think?

I definitely agree! It makes sense when you listen to the lyrics.
