First few times I heard this I took it for a love song. But the music sounds like an old-fashioned hymn. And look at the language - "send me to hell", "fall from your grace". He could be talking to god. A lot of those old hymns sound like love songs & not a few love songs sound like hymns. Whose hand is he holding? Does it matter? A little bit of ambiguity never did anybody any harm.
