I'm surprised no one has commented on this song. It's quite overlooked, especially on an overlooked album like Tunnel of Love. But regardless, I think its a great song about a bad relationship. He's obviously very attached to this woman and she haunts him in his sleep. But at the same time, there's this sad undertone to the entire thing. And what exactly is a lonely valentine? Sounds to me like he loves her more than she loves him.
