I worry about Zak, his son…. age 33 … just got back home (here) I hear, a few days before this. He works Merchant Marines. I have not been in his life barely at all. He was 6 or 7 when me & M together, which we only were for a couple of years (and 4/5 of that was rocky).

after the Civil War. I think the 2nd verse may connect here in some way. Syntax is modern:
The world we knew has died away,
lost memories wanderin ‘n space.
Most folks have gone, few have stayed,
but no one has taken your place.
(refrain)
The wind blew, but never
the wind I knew.
The sun shined,
I never saw light.
Are you happy to see me again
at the end of my journey through night?
