I think this is about a couple that has been together for years and one is dying..he is saying its ok to go, that he will always be with her and she with him.
Outside the rain begins
And it may never end
(she is taking her last breath and he can see no end to his sadness)
So cry no more, on the shore a dream
Will take us out to sea
Forevermore, forevermore
(She need not cry or feel any pain because they will ride the sea together, forever)
Close your eyes Amy
And you can be with me
'Neath the waves, through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone, we're all alone
(its ok to go Amy...remember our life together, it may be hard to remember but its ok to go as we are together...always)
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Learn how to pretend
From her deathbed...the window is closed and the lights turned low, dont worry about trivial stuff, release all those negative feelings and letting go of all your earthly worries. Put on a face for those who you leave.
Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do, lovers too, so cast
Your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear, oh, hold me dear
(Our story is as old as time but I need to hold you and remember your touch)
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
All's forgotten now
Its just about our love and being here together
We're all alone, all alone
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Owe it to the wind, my love, hold me dear

@turtle68 I agree absolutely in that it's a song about the cusp of the end of life.

I feel it's a song about a dying woman and her love who predeceased her, coming to take her to be with him where they were happiest forever.

"Cast your seasons to the wind" is a classic metaphor for death. When you're on the verge of death, nothing matters anymore, does it?
