wow, thanks for the explanation Linus... that's neat that colin would research those legends. To be honest I almost had that story when I first read the lyrics: rich girl is being forced to marry another while her lover drowns(my first thought being suicide out of despair), and once the bride-to-be finds out she kills herself as well. Just goes to show the wondrous storytelling meloy is capable of!
