i get the idea this song is about the death of a girlfriend. lines like "way up in that sky, i look up and i wonder if that's you passing by" gives off the impression that he senses her soul/spirit. a lot of the song is, indeed, reminsicing on the relationship that has obviously left a hole in his life. but then he says "folks, they used to smile, now they just think that they should". this could imply, and to me it makes more sense than just a breakup, that they feel so sorry for him that they basically force smiles as they walk down the street. my idea, anyway. a LOVELY song off white light.
