I absolutely love that song! When I listen to it I imagine the life of a young man as he is growing older and living trough his life till eventually he passes away. In the mid section of the song where the mood shifts to a more tragic sounding tune the man is growing old and as happens to all, he passes away. After his funeral his grave is visited by his mourning family. The visits start off sad but eventually grow to be more positive. The family members come and talk to the man as if he was still there. From the point of view as an observer the man watches and listens. He watches as those he lived succumbed to the same fate as him. His family members eventually pass on and they are reunited once more.

Sorry if that was a bit long. I know I made a few grammatical errors as well. I believe that you should draw what comes to your mind after reading the text I put above. I hope this helped!

It's a beautiful song. For me, It reminds me of a person who can never get a break in life... and I can relate to that. But now they don't have to worry anymore. Another thing is traveling throughout the sea on a harsh day. The waves smoothly running and it's foggy.
