I find it interesting that the places where she usually roams are the most bizarre, while "in the furthest place [she's] ever known" lives a young, shell-shocked war veteran, obviously the most real of all these images.
And the only character who is not concerned with money is the "caterpillar cousin" who doesn't pay rent.
I read Ethan Frome in 9th grade or something, and I hated it. But now that I think of it, I don't feel much love for it, but it is depressing. But depressing in a kind of pathetic way. For some reason, I always picture Regina (not a character of hers) singing this song, and to picture her getting a carriage ride from Ethan Frome is just a weird image.
I love this song.

Bottom line, I do not know what this song means.
