I thought it referred to the Virgin Mary. Most of the statues within Catholic Churches show Virgin Mary with a hint of a smile "Oh Mary of Silence / You pick my heart with a smile."
"Oh sweet Mary / Come inside for a while / Help me get a hold on you / Or I look in the night /
I thought of myself beside you / Take me into your skin" This portion of the song sounds like a plea from a troubled soul. Some pray to Jesus to help them through the tough times, but Catholics sometimes pray to Virgin Mary (and that woman is always silent, no?)
"We have a steady confusion / You're looking at fear" This passage reads like an accusation. You are not there when I most need you; perhaps our wordly problems scare you as they have in the past "It doesn't seem like the first time / You walked out in a hurry" In other words, she abandons us.
"Help me walk with you / To the sky that we see / Shuddering in myself, in-my-self" reads to me as follows: Help me feel what it is like in heaven or more dramatically: I can't take it anymore! Get me off this Earth! It's cold down here!
"Oh where" - Where are you?
"Oh when" - When will you arrive?
"Oh well" - Resignation.
