Cover art for We Gathered In Spring lyrics by Midlake

a nice song with lovely lyrics.My interpretetion is that of a man that had to abandon his home and wife to go to a big city looking for s better life,job etc and he thought that could be a giant there,as maybe his parents or grandparents became acting the same way.But times are not the same anymore and he's not getting what he want from the unhappy situation.And his only comfort is to remember the simple happiness of his previews life. "on a clear day ican see my old house and my wife in the front yard talking with the friends" Is this fucking spring coming anyway someday soon ?
