hmm sorry for the typos im new to the site and cant seem to find an edit button, guess i'll have to be more careful in future posts.

"But i cant help thinking when i hear this song that the boy is already dead but she travels to see him anyway"

I think i thought this because the lyrics go:

"Bring back my boy I loved him I loved him"

where as "bring him back" could refer to him returning from the war, the "I loved him" does seem to indicate he might be dead.
