First and foremost, as are with quite a few of his songs, this one is filled with both beauty and sadness and there are few that can equal the lyrics this man has written. That is simply my opinion.
As far as the meaning of this gem, that can only be decided by the listener and that person's personal life experiences. I don't believe there is a right or wrong answer as to what his thought process was behind his words. Only the composer knows for sure.
That being said, this song has deep meaning to me. I clearly see what CromCrom means with his/her interpretation (his reply to Anson12). I have lived those words. I lost my husband and it took me years to move forward. I couldn't let go. I still felt married to him. Ten long and lonely years later, a man entered my life and brought me back to the world of the living. He was my fresh breeze who filled my sails and ended my doldrums. It took me some time, but I was finally able to allow myself to find home again.
