She wasn't his wife, and her unborn child wasn't his. It was a one night stand and:
"A presence in the room, we both could feel
The father of her unborn child and me"
Not his.
I understand the song except for "she had found the sails for the following night"
The way I see it, the lighthouse keeper goes into town and meet this girl, has a one night stand with her..then as he's leaving, her husband attacks the lighthouse keeper. He crawled somewhere ("in cold shelter") and lay unconcious. He wakes up, realizing that the light in the lighthouse is unlit. When he's able, he goes back into town and they tell him that everyone on a ship, the White Pearl, had died because the ship hit a reef. He is tried and found innocent, but the hatred of the townspeople drives him to commit suicide by jumping off the lighthouse onto a reef.
Not quite, Asuyaka.

Amazing song, I love all the harmonies.
