Lyric discussion by In the mist 

yeah i found it , i was right this song is about the book zilverdolk (silverdagger) van Katharine Kerr.

and someone above here was pretty close bacause he said it was about reincarnation. the book is about a guy who is turned immortal as a punishment until he made his wrong doings right again, so he is forced to live for ages. He lives fot centuries and he sees reincarnations (a magic abbility of his) of people he knew. jillian (or as it is written in the book: Gylian) is a girl he loved. and he meets her in several incarnations over like a thousand years.

so i was right , this song is about a book and as i already suspected the I person is immortal
