hal·cy·on/ˈhalsēən/
Adjective:
Denoting a period of time in the past that was idyllically happy and peaceful.
I think that this song is about a relationship that is drawing to a close, and acknowledging the difficulty of letting go of a love that was once ideal. It seems to me to be to a homage to the beautiful tragedy of lost loves. The couple is not happy in love anymore and it's about recognizing that reality, but acknowledging the fact that they will always have those perfect moments in the past that made their love worthwhile. It's a very beautiful song.
