It's always seemed to me that "The Last Time I Saw Her" was referring to someone who had passed over.
I think it's the last verse that leaves me with that impression. Granted he could we writing of a metaphorical death, as in the death of love.
The last time she kissed my cheek
Her lips were like the wilted leaves
Upon the autumn covered hills
Resting on the frozen ground
The seeds of love lie cold and still
Beneath a battered marking stone
It lies forgotten
