No Milk Today Lyrics

Lyric discussion by mustellina 

Cover art for No Milk Today lyrics by Hermans Hermits

This is how I read the song : The narrator is a milkman, who used to deliver milk at the girl's house. They used to have a love affair, and drink milk together. Yet, one day, he finds the girl has left the house (either because she moved out or because she died --> possible interpretation due to the word "shrine" ???), so he is no longer drinking milk with her as he delivers the milk and the bottles are left unopened.
