I cannot believe that there a so little people commenting on Willy's songs.
You've got to love this song, even though it's not your average love story.
I'm guessing this particular song is about someone who's lost everything he stood for and is extremely pessimistic about life and the world in general, and it's all because he 'sold his soul' (probably for a lady) and now he regrets ever doing so, because it didn't quite work out the way he expected it would. "I should have walked on by, let her cry, and only drank my fill"
Basically: he got into something without giving it any thought and in the end all he accomplished was making things worse then they already were.
But that's just my interpretation.
