This song is about a pagan girl and her kind that worship the stars. All songs are relative to the listener, but for me this refers to the peace, beauty, and magick of the untouched, undomesticated mountain dwellers living on the periphery of civilization whose way of life is lost to having to earn a wage. Before we all came down the slopes to the carnival, the valley below where the banks offered a civilized lifestyle for us vulgarians, we were more prone to being well balanced individuals of nature (pagans, and gypsies) giving rise to foresight and psychic abilities that were later demonized by "worldly gentlemen" as witchcraft instead of natures gift to those willing to see. Maybe the bible was an allegory, a cautionary tale warning us about giving into money and such temptation so we'd never build America and have to bomb other countries for prosperity? As any country hick like myself who must commute to the city everyday to make a living its easy to appreciate and recognize the genius of such folk music like this, and the sad irony of our modern disposition.
