Meg said that the song was inspired by George Sand's novel 'Indiana'.
Here's a summary of the novel, it pretty much fits/explains the song as well:
It is a realist, idealist, and romantic novel that deals with the problems of marriage in post Napoleon France. In the story an attractive, young Creole from Reunion Island named Indiana marries a much older man named Colonel Delmare, who had been a Lieutenant in Napoleon's army, and who was a successful industrialist. Indiana does not love him, and searches for someone who will love her fully and passionately.
