This song is about Nico. The references to the bells and the gown are taken from Velvet Underground lyrics (Venus in Furs and All Tomorrow's Parties).
Nico slept with a lot of men, and I guess Leonard Cohen was one of them. Either that, or he NEARLY slept with her (you're faithful to the better man, like you would do for one you love, etc.)
This is just a really beautiful song.
