I think this song is parallelling the life of any man on the road to that of Odysseus in the Oddysey. The allusion to the Sirens is very evident, and I think it somehow turns into a man who doesn't really want to settle down, but finds himself sticking around one town for some reason. A misses, I'm guessing.
