I changed the first line, you're totally right.

I think he married a girl because she got pregnant "young mothers eyes", and not he's stuck in a miserable marriage, like you say. That's why he dug his own grave I guess. The first verse, I left it as poison sunrise, as I think it seems like a sense of forboding after the midnight lovin' kind of red and hanging over him. I don't know what a 'cow town' is, but I can't think of what the words are here...it could be 'between the curtain' and 'bearing all in the dark' I'd like to know what was in the treetops with him, other than 'mumblemumbles' lol.

The last verse he is watching her sleep, but he can't, he just watches her breathing and wishes he was elsewhere.

I think it's a song about 'you've made your bed and now you have to lie in it'.
