not to dissapoint the people who carry this song as a personal meaning to themselves... Anyone can interpret it as they may like or how the might feel in spite of their life experience.... but it is aparent to me that this song is about being with a prostitute...hence the terms he uses.."she is more than her thousand names": prostitutes use many names, "strange as you are to me": he's with her for the money they don't know each other, "love is a fragile word on the air on the wrinkly lane", it's a lane ..he's on the street with her and love is fragile word because he can't say he loves her given the fact it's purely business..... nevertheless he feels so good in her house(her body) and he has fallen in love with her...she may seem tough due to her profesion , but when making love with him she shows her gentle side...."no hands are half as gentle or firm as they'd like to be"......to sum it all up he sees in her more than what she apears to be...and he loves her
