Cain was a figure in the Bible - he killed his brother Abel, thus committing the first murder. As punishment, he was sentenced to wander the world as an outcast, presumably forever alone and unloved. The lyrics speak of a man cursed in the way Cain is - wandering the world alone - but then finding love he never thought he'd have.
