| The Handsome Family – Far From Any Road Lyrics | 11 years ago |

I think your interpretation is mostly correct, but the female voice must be a spirit being akin to Mother Nature because: 1) She came "...walking with the wind", which indicates a spirit being. 2) She states "Mountain cats will come to drag away YOUR bones", not hers. 3) She says "...the stars will be your eyes", indicating the man's spirit will be of the heavens, while "...the wind will be my hands", indicating she will stay earth bound. Additionally, I think the "strange hunger" is her sensing death nearby, sensing the man's body is ready to return to the earth (herself) from which it came. Thus, his body will "rise" (or be with) her forever as part of the earth, her body. |
