"This song is based on the fantasy novel (Daggerspell -The Deverry Cycle series) by Katherine Kerr.

The song is written from the point of view of an old man called Nevyn (Translates a "No One") who in his youth was engaged to the most beautiful girl in Deverry, called Brangwen. Unfortunetly, due to various things going wrong, Brangwen ends up dead and Nevyn blames himself.

Nevyn swares an oath that he won't rest until he has repaid his debts to Brangwen, so the Lords of Wyrds grant him an unusualy long life so he can do this. Eventualy Brangwen in reborn as are various others who were involved in the tragedy, but it takes several life-times to get things remotely sorted and by this time Nevyn is an old man and Brangwen has been reincarnated as a young woman called Jill (Gylian) which is why the song sounds so regretful."

He lives for centuries and he sees reincarnations (a magic ability 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. "
