Makes me think of a young girl being taken away to be forced into a marriage, witnessing her father (playing on freudian theory as CocoRosie always does) and family abandon her. She drifts away and even years later she sees that they have gotten along fine in despite her absence and her own suffering by marriage at such a young age.
I watched the grass blow, I watched the flowers grow - these lyrics depict the passing of time. And to me, personally, reflect a very deep sense of loneliness as if she has nothing better to go than to watch time go by through a window.
@ch3rryx Just adding that I believe there's even concern from the young child on how her family will deal with the separation themselves ("Family waiting, Hope not too lonely" and then "They are never lonely."). So, adding up on the heartbreaking description of her life, she even suffers with not knowing how their family will stand her leaving, building also on self-inflicted guilt, for levaing them. It is a child...

This song is incredibly heartbreaking.
