Whoa, this song totally relates to Tifa Lockhart and Cloud Strife from FF7. She thought he died in Nibelheim, I can see her sitting outside in the rain on the water tower before she leaves to the lines 'Soaking she sits alone, outside and down.' I can see her doing that after he leaves too.
But I think it's about a woman waiting at home for the soldier boy to write, he's telling her he's fine, he's okay, he doesn't miss anything and she wants to hear the truth. She wants to know how many times he's been bombed, how many times he's ran for his life, how much he likely just wants to go home. She's depressed, and partly stressed and just misses him. Knitting him sweaters, and the like to keep her mind preoccupied. Then she gets up one day from her piano playing, goes to the door and sees a stranger driving up near her porch. Of course the news is the news she didn't want to hear. The dead.
