when this begins, it's unclear why they're far from home, the song speaks of "they", who come when he's sad and at his lowest, quietly without him knowing. Maybe it's sickness, or depression or grief.. I think it's left to interpretation.
then you find out there's been a death
"and i've watched you grow cold, and there's no tears left"
and then you see why they're far from home and why they're in tears
