Right wrat : "How many... I wait" is even repeated 2 times at the end of the song, and I can't hear the "boulder" part written above. I would say that the last words are :

How long will I sit and wait like a soldier? How many summers will it take? How many summers will I wait? How many summers will I wait?

But there may be different versions for the song... About the meaning , IMO, it's about sacrifice you make for a lover ("in my heart you fill every corner"), for which you get nothing in return, neither the grateful nor even the love you could expect. Could last, but not long : "Next time I'll try it another way". Clear now ?
