I love how this song contrasts the warm beauty of love with the cool, cylical nature of life. To me it is about the warth of love and sex, and the possibility of making new life. I love the details of his love (eyless in the morning, making tea in her underwear). But it also strips life down to its barest forms (form, feel, kill, propagate, die). The song takes us from morning to night, warm to cool, as it takes us from the emotional, spiritual aspects of life, to the very cold, bare facts of it all.
