This is one of the songs Donovan wrote while he believed his carreer in music was over. According to his autobiography "As I dug you diggin' me" refers to Linda (Brian Jone's baby-momma), the love of his life, with whom he was communicating spiritually.
And oh god, I must comment of the phosphorus imagery -- I thought it was fairly common becasue at my friend's cabin it's there 30% of the times we wanna go night-swimming, but apparently it's unusual. For those of you who HAVEN'T experienced bioluminesence, just use your imagination and you won't overestimate how magical it was. Once the sea lit up SO much it was like I was GLOWING. All of me, from the inside out. No, no drugs or alcohol was involved.
I cried the first time I heard this song. It made me learn to play guitar. Now you know.
