This evocative ballad delves into the realm of longing, loss, and regret. The protagonist laments over a person named Miles who has significantly impacted their life but is no longer present. They express a deep sense of longing for Miles and regret over actions that may have caused their departure. The repeated phrase "Away, away, away" underscores the distance now between them. However, there's also an undertone of hope - the protagonist wishes for Miles to find happiness elsewhere. The final lines reveal a struggle to hold onto something that was once beautiful but has now changed or faded; this could be interpreted as a commentary on how relationships evolve over time.
