paulohony makes sence but I always thought that this song was about a guy that suddenly died-> could have been murder by accident, hence the end of the song is another voice (a person crying) saying "please forgive, I never meant to hurt you".
This way, the line "and a voice from above did whisper some shining answer from the moon" makes sence. He's walking the golden path and hears the other person asking for forgiveness.
