Folk Song Lyrics

The song (to me at least) seems to literally be explaining the character climbing a tree:

"I climb higher move towards the fire, blaze sun"

While the surrounding forest occupies their senses:

"Silver trees and a whispering breeze Are my sight and my sound"

"The thought of heaven couldn't drag me from the path" may be an indication of the danger of climbing so high, but their unwillingness to stray from the destination. Finally the character makes it to the top to watch the sunset.

"Watch until it dies slow falling from the sky Pale fading sun"

I think this is The Sundays most beautiful song. I hope one day I'll feel as happy as this song makes me.
