Answer 1

the leaves from the vines and falling slowly part is most likely talkin bout blood. and the little solider boy come marchin suff might mean he died and thats wat the blood part is and it says comin home cause hes dead and he going home to heaven. but idk im just guessin ive never heard that b4

Answer 2

You have the quote slightly wrong.  It is a sort of lullaby, but it  has the deeper meaning of war.  Fragile shells in the foam, maybe like drowning in doubt.  Obviously, the other part is about well-wished for the kids to come home.  Leaves on the vine fall in winter...  So it is a bad time, and soldiers are falling.
