Courtyard Lyrics

I think my interpretation would be that she was expecting her husband or boyfriend to build this Courtyard for her and possibly something very unfortunate happened to him before he could ever do it and you could hear the sadness in her voice and it was beautiful how she described how she visualized it... Personally I think it's a beautiful song but very sad in Grim at the same time
