Well here's my tuppence worth (I'm English, I don't own 2 cents ;))...

Basically I think it almost draws parralells with 3 libras. Its about loving someone indefinately who is to scarred and dead ('Sleeping Beauty') inside to feel he/she can love you back. Then some event, or realisation occurs to make you realise that they are far to gone or poisoned for you to heal, and you and them both realise that it is 'hopeless' to expect anything to come of this. I'm unsure, but I've chosen to think that the 'Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening' could mean that only time (a lot of time) could ever heal the scars and you feel that you don't think you will be there to see it.

Though I do like divineblindclown's take on it

Take your sterling pounds elsewhere Englishman!
