Absolutly beautiful. I don't quite think its about death. When Brian says 'Let us cling together as the years go by' I don't see it as the person is dieing but rather he is going away for a long time. For example, he could be leaving for war. The first verse I think backs me up by saying that the same moon shines and the same winds blows which to me means that even though they are apart its only the distance that separates them.
To me this is the perfect song when your going to leave someone and all you can tell them is to be strong.
