This is a good song but nobody has yet to say what the song actually means to him or her.
As the theme song of "Watership Down" (an animated film about rabbits looking for a new home after being driven away by men), it is played during the death of a main character. The spirit of the "Black Rabbit" is coming to take him to a kind of heaven, I believe. I think that's why the lyrics say "following the river of death." I also wonder if that "kind of shadow" is a reference to the Black Rabbit who appears only when a rabbit is about to die.
It's a very beautiful song. One of Art Garfunkel's favorites. This is my favorite song of them all. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it.
