The lyrics were about the death of my grandfather in October 2002, so that makes the song a kind of eulogy.
Though the tears have long since dried
The feeling is still the same.
Farewell to you...
I know not where you are,
Nor do I know if I will see you,
All I have are the memories.
My tears have dried, but don't think I've forgotten,
For often my mind will drift back to you,
To think what you would do.
