Barat has described the song as “quite dark actually. It’s a bit like a death letter. To someone you love if you die.”…“it speaks of death and what will happen to another if one dies before them. It is a message of love I think, what we would like to say to another if we were to die”…“It was a beyond-the-grave song that I wanted to write”

As you lie on your own
Remember this: You're not alone --
There's a song that will bring me to your side.
And when you want for me
Picture leaves in the breeze
And the tears that have long, long been cried.
And you know I've loved you so
And I will till the end of days
But as I go, I want you to know:
You are loved.
Shadows fall from the fire
Loneliness was desire
All these lives are just strangers passing by.
And one day we'll meet again
I'll be wind, you'll be rain
Chasing 'round like lovers of old times.
And you know I've loved you so
And I will till the end of days
But as I go, I want you to know:
You are loved.
