I think it's about a break-up, the last night that person is going to spend with a lover that no longer reciprocates (hence the "wooden arms": inert and deprived of any sentiment). The next day they will no longer be together anymore but s/he still gets to spend one more night with a person for whom s/he has lingering feelings (and maybe whises s/he doesn't have them: "I wish it could be black and white").
It's my opinion...
I love this song not only because it's beautiful but also because it's the last song Lhasa sang live before goingo into seclusion and eventually passing away.
