I've always thought this song was about getting older and not being ready for it. April (youth) has come and gone without the singer realizing it.
April showers bring May flowers.
"April, dressed in all his trim, hath put a spirit of youth in everything."
William Shakespeare, sonnet 98
allviolet mentioned T.S. Eliot - "April is the cruellest month"
Then again, it could be about depression. The sadness of the rain, being unprepared for it and the silence. "These days just seem to crush me"... "What if I drown?" ... "April, your rain, it overcomes me"
Perhaps both? Sadness and getting older. That being said, I've never thought of this as a sad song. I find it quite uplifting.
