My favourite song ever, along with Ocean Rain, both coming from the best album of all-time: Ocean Rain. Oh how I adore Echo & The Bunnymen, Ian's my hero, the only idol I have in life.
As for this song: I think it is just about imaginary scenes, about a dreamy atmosphere. "an ice-capped fire on burning wood" sounds so beautiful yet also very surreal. I think the song just tries to create a surreal imaginary landscape full of beauty and full of dreams. Apart from that, Ian told it was an ode to the night, written in a time he was often awake and writing at nighttime.
