I've always heard it's about a person headed to Vietnam. I felt that it was that way also. But it gets confusing. If he (Daniel) was headed to Spain then I feel he is going to vietnam. Because Spain would be a possible stop for a British Soldier going to Vietnam. Also Daniel says it's the Prettiest place he's ever seen. Which means he has Eyesight. Unless of course there is some poetic meaning in there.
Then when it says "Scars that won't heal" I think he is back from Vietnam and has been wonded.
Well, if they were going to viet nam, they would probably travel west. . . :>

also, I do think that "Scars that won't heal" would mean that, excepting I think that they would be mental scars more than physical. . .just a thought. :>

@smittie1984 A tonne of interpretations seem to cling to this little lyric when in the actual fact it is about Edie Sedgwick's time spent and then leaving 'The Factory'
