Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'une femme appelée Bitter Green, qui se promène sous le soleil dans une vallée paisible. Elle semble porter en elle une tristesse, attendant un être cher dont on raconte qu'il était soit un marin perdu en mer, soit un prisonnier qui n'a jamais été libéré. Sa vie est marquée par l'amour qu'elle donne à ceux qu'elle rencontre, tout en restant fidèle à son attente. Au fil du temps, on comprend que Bitter Green n'est plus là, laissant derrière elle un homme abattu, en larmes devant un cimetière. Il se remémore des souvenirs, rêvant d'un doux baiser. Cette scène évoque un mélange de nostalgie, de perte et d'espoir, où l'amour continue de briller malgré l'absence.
