Cover art for The Hounds Of Winter lyrics by Sting

Has he said it's about his divorce? I think it's about someone who died. There are a couple of reasons for this. He says "Where she's gone I will surely, surely follow." We all die eventually, but don't generally follow our ex-wives around. He goes on to say "The Hounds of Winter - They got me in their sights." "Got me in their sights" generally means in the sight of a sniper's gun.
