The main theme is reconciliation/forgiveness. As he is slipping away he wants those around him to let go of their ill feelings towards each other and not take unresolved to their graves.
(You follow where I go)
He has forgiven them
(Bitter words mean little to me...
Autumn Winds will blow right through me)
(Heavy words that tossed and blew me...
Like Autumn winds that will blow right through me)
(When they asked me if I knew you...
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine)
He does hope they can forgive him.
(When they ask you if you knew me...
Remember that You were a friend of mine)
The tone of the song is remorseful..... wishing he would have resolved this sooner.
