La chanson évoque des réflexions sur la vie, la mort et les souvenirs. À travers des images poétiques, elle décrit un homme enterré aux côtés de sa première femme, tandis que sa veuve observe une scène marquée par le passage du temps et la chaleur du soleil. On ressent une mélancolie face à la perte et aux moments partagés, perdus dans les méandres des années. Il semble également y avoir une sorte de cycle éternel, avec des allusions à des éléments naturels, comme l'eau et le soleil, qui symbolisent la continuité et le changement. Les références à des souvenirs d'enfance et à une maison construite par cet homme suggèrent un attachement profond à des lieux et des personnes chères, renforçant l'idée que tout change mais que certaines empreintes restent.
