This song is one that haunts me...it's just that pretty.
I think there are a few ways of looking at it. Me being the weird person I am, it feels like it was written to an old woman who is either dead or about to die. The narrator has a close connection to the woman, and is trying to comfort both herself and the woman. She's trying to let her know that she is going to die, and she is okay with that. Her death should be mourned, but they should recover from it. The narrator wants to pay this woman a proper tribute before she leaves.
