This used to be my fav. It probably isn't anymore but it still ranks pretty highly.
Anyway, I always thought the idea was no matter what, the narrator would always love this girl and always make an effort to be with her.
Nick uses a lot of religous imagery to convey a bleak apocalyptic picture which I don't think is a metaphor for the relationship at all but is either a deepistion of the world at large at the moment or an actual description of the world ending as Nick see's it and despite what's going on around him still wanting to only be with his love.
In terms of meaning it is a very similar song, I would argue, as (I'll Love You) Till the End of the World.
Another possibility is that Nick is describing the death of religion or it's lack of compatability in modernity and decline and failure to remain relevent i particular amongst the intelligentsia.
Heaven has denied us its kingdom
The saints are drunk howling at the moon
The chariots of angels are colliding
It's quite an ambigous song and I still havn't concluded as to what its about other than love, rleigion etc
