I was just at the Charlotte, NC concert the other night. Mikael introduced this song by talking about Dio's passing and how much that affected him and then his love for the band Rainbow. This song is his tribute to Dio in the style of Rainbow.
With that explanation, it makes a lot more sense to me musically. I can practically hear Dio's voice singing it. And the lyrics are about Mikael looking up to Dio for so long, and then Dio's death leaving him alone and distraught. It was like the end of summer, the breaking of a promise, etc.
