Cover art for You Were But A Ghost In My Arms lyrics by Agalloch

I think I got it. I was NEVER able to interpret a song in my life. I think this song is about fog. Im very excited to think this but heres my theory. "Like snowfall, you cry a silent storm." Fog isnt loud like a thunderstorm, its silent like snowfall. "your tears. . .oaken wall" Im gonna guess the moisture from the fog is leaving moss, possibly. The amber nectar is sap, my guess. some of the other lyrics could of just been thrown in there for the music or the flow but lastly. you were but a ghost in my arms. You cant catch fog, its un-catch-able. :)
