To me - this song is about a relationship gone sour. And while one person is in mourning the other is moving on....the disconnect between them is made most obvious at the end, when on person is saying "what might have been lost" as in we have given up on a great thing! and the other person says "don't bother me" because they want to move on!
Going back to the beginning though:
The person in mourning is conflicted with feelings of sadness and resentment of what they feel and want the other person to feel it too. "someday my pain will mark you." Almost like saying to them "you may not feel the loss of me now but you will....you'll miss me too. "
And while the other one might already be moving on leaving the other alone to mourn, the mourner promises to be there for them when (IF) they ever come back "With the wolves around you, In the morning, I'll call you."
The next stanza is so brilliant: "Solace my game," anyone who's been through a break-up knows you must act cheerful on the outside while the other person is hurting you so much "swing your crane, and run me through."
this song chills me. he's managed to capture the inside turmoil that many of us have experienced when things "just don't work out."
Thank you. Really. That's exactly how I feel right now. Yes, I'm the mourning one. I still have hope... But right now I'm feeling awful. This makes happy in the other hand, because now I know that someone else knows exactly what I'm feeling.

using your explanation, "in the morning, I'll call you" may very well be "in the mourning I'll call you" as well. cheers.

Spot on interpretation. Thank you :) such a painfully beautiful opening line "Someday my pain will mark you"
