I actually think they're at the end of the relationship... He thinks about the early days when they sang and laughed and danced and all, they were happy together and even leaves were laughing. But the problems were just around the corner ("as we walked away I saw a shadow on the ground, there were stones inside my pockets that were found"), and now she's only a face smiling in his memory. The darkened room is where they are now, it's the end of their relationship. "The morning is so far off from out here in the night" - The happy moments are gone, they're struggling and fighting now, it's night and all is dark. And when the night gets colder (things get worse) she leaves him, and all the places where they used to go are empty.
But he's still deeply in love with her, he desperately needs her, he always will and always have... Before he knew her he called her name out to the darkness down below. He feels like he has always lived in the darkness, but then she came and brought the light.
Amazing song... Probably my favorite off the album.
