I believe this song is about a veteran of war or something of the like. Jonathan Low, the veteran, lost all of his friends in battle and the terribleness of the war destroyed him or what he did in the war killed him thereby in a way killing himself. Now he has nightmares about it ("words cried at night") and he goes to the families of his friends to tell them how they died. Perhaps he felt responsible for it and blamed himself to the point of emotionally killing himself...
This song is about the IRA and the British "troubles" in Northern Ireland, where Londonderry is found. Londonderry is right on the border with the Irish Republic.
