Well, it is simple. This song is about lost love, new love, and the loneliness it replaced.
Hence "This is the springtime of my loving; the second season I'm to know....." The singer lost his passion...and his love... "I watched the fire that grew so low...." His new love has enervated him...."You are the sunlight in my growing". OK? "So little warmth, I've felt before"..... He lost his love, his world had turned cold and dark and gray......She gave him sunlight and,,,,,,,,well c'mon people!!!!!!!! And.....
Emotions rise and fall, and, in any event, a little rain MUST fall. (Shit happens!!!) But in the end, his new love came and saved him. (Our intrepid hero! !!).......
I can relate to this song in a VERY real way. For 10 years now; so I have had a long time to think about it and put it into perspective. Anyhoo....keep loving the ZEP!!!!!!
Oh, and make sure you go on YouTube and look up videos for the "Band of Joy". It is a pre-Zeppelin Plant and Bonham group. Way cool...................BYE

Fantastic Interpretation Joe!!!! I felt the same about the song but I couldn't nail it down. I used to think of the ups and downs of the same girl but I believe you're correct. He lost a first love, felt down and then got restored by a new one. The sound of the song supports your hypothesis. Because of you Joe, I enjoy the song more. Thanks very much. John.

Finally! Someone who get's the meaning of the song and doesn't try to fold it into some little obsolete corner of their life.
