It seems to me to be about a girl who has had a lot of lovers, and each one of them left her and said goodbye. She's yearning for someone to love who will love her back, but she has such high expactations, and with each lover who's left her because of her high expectations, a little part of her seems to die, like the leaves falling off a tree. But despite of it all, she's not breaking down and crying, but continuing on. The line "one by one my tales are told" might be referring to the fact that, in the song, it's almost like a story. The first three stanzas are about different lovers who left her. The forth one is about a lover who finally stayed with her.

My favourite part of this is when she sings, "One by one my leaves fall, One by one my tales are told," which seems to have been omitted here. I don't think it's a song with a really deep meaning, but I like that line because it evokes a lot of things... like the passage of time... aging... experiences we'll never have again... story-telling... I really just like the image of trees representing people.

I love this song. It's kind of sad, but I like it anyway. It's calming, and I like to listen to it and make up stories in my head, mostly because I'm writing a book, and any song can help me think of my book or other books I'm going to write. In any case, calming song, I like it.

I've always thought this song was about death. The whole 'she was aiming too high' and 'a love that won't die' lines just seem to be saying that. Also the repetition of 'adios, adios, goodbye'

in the beginning it souns like it's a sad song about a girl who lost a lover but in the end its just a person who was looking at it wrong the girl won't brake down and cry and it's a love that won't die because their love isnt over because he lef t he's coming back he still loves her it isnt over love is never over 1
