It's meaning is pretty much obvious. You don't want the future, which isn't what you thought it was, to come. Still, awesome song, I love the soft "twangy" guitar.
about aging. As you find yourself moving towards the end. You notice that what IS could have been so much better.. and you wish, pray, daydream for things to come, but as each day passes they become less tangible. Dreams, projects, ideas, all these slip from you. Till you find you self spending more time trying to remember things, instead of dreaming up futures that will never be. each day moving closer to the future that is only the sad ending present. until the end of the song which is about him dying not just aging.

"Say a prayer for...
"Say a prayer for the falling angels (you say prayers for dead)
Stem the tide of the rising waters (trying to stop something)
Toll a bell for the broken hearted (you toll bells for the dead)
Burn a torch for your sons and daughters (pass the light to your children)
The endless night has got a hold of me (endless night = death)
Dark days are pulling me forward
And all the tears are washing over me-
I'm crying, lost forever-
In a future that ain't what it used to be
No more no more no more"
besides if these albums are a loose trilogy about The Rider then this is how it must end. With him all run out of adventures, and loves.. and passing away for better or worse.
