Even now I can smell the clothes
Freshly from the wash
Still hot from the dryer
Even now I can smell your skin
To wrap you in a towel
Lay you on the bed
And try to love you
Even now I can feel your arms
I can feel your breast
I can hear your songs
And I always can find you again
Even now I can feel your hand
Gently over mine
With almost no weight at all
Even now I can feel your eyes
Watch me as I strum
Much too late at night
Even now I can see you smile
I can hear you hum
I can hear you sing
And I always can find you again
Even in the dark of night
Even in the lowest light
Even as the world outside
Is spinning, and spinning
Even now I can feel your hair
Blow across my cheek
As we sit in one of two chairs
Even now I can feel your face
Resting on my chest
Wrestling for sleep
And failing at it
Even now I can see you sleep
I can see the dream
I can see you fly
And I always can find you again
And I always can find you again
And I always can find you again
I tend to think this is about someone recalling memories of someone before they died. It doesn't have to be interpreted that way, but it certainly fits. I think the woman was sick for a while and then died.

Maybe she IS sick, but she didn't die. He's just taking care of her, and is worried about her, but can still remember all of the reasons he fell in love with her and can still find happiness in the midst of everything going on.

Even now I can smell the clothes Freshly from the wash Still hot from the dryer
Even now I can smell your skin To wrap you in a towel Lay you on the bed And try to love you
Even now I can feel your arms I can feel your breast I can hear your songs And I always can find you again
Even now I can feel your hand Gently over mine With almost no weight at all
Even now I can feel your eyes Watch me as I strum Much too late at night
Even now I can see you smile I can hear you hum I can hear you sing And I always can find you again
Even in the dark of night Even in the lowest light Even as the world outside Is spinning, and spinning
Even now I can feel your hair Blow across my cheek As we sit in one of two chairs
Even now I can feel your face Resting on my chest Wrestling for sleep And failing at it
Even now I can see you sleep I can see the dream I can see you fly And I always can find you again And I always can find you again And I always can find you again
