my theory:
They "made love" she went away, promising to come back, or somthing equally as stupid. Or she may have died "Are you there up in the sky?
Until the return of my love,
This lullaby."
And he waits for her, and can't stop thinking about her etc "And sure as days come from moments
Each hour becomes a life's time" he wastes his life away thinking/waiting for her. And then dies.

Yeah... Thats pretty much my theory.
