I think the previous two posts are on the right track. I, too, have sensed some depression in the lyrics, as well as a strong link to nature. I've also thought that the singer was referencing his search for his Creator. He say's "there a shadow of doubt that's not letting me find you too soon". I think his depression is a mental roadblock to his finding his Creator. The lyric "don't you let the sun fade away" could be a reference to truth about Him getting lighter as the day dawns and conversely, as the sun sets, it gets darker. He expressess beautifully the connection that should exist between our appreciation for nature and spiritual things. I love this song.
