So I think this song is about hope. The narrator is at a low point where he sold everything he had. The only thing that makes him happy is the memory of his gal. But he is still hopeful for a better future. His secret may be that he is hopeful. This is a pretty simple explanation and I feel like there is more to it, but this is what how I could put into words. I just love this song so much the music and the words are just so powerful. It’s short but it is incredibly poetic.
