I also like Frankenstrat's interpretation, but I'd like to take it even further and apply it to any lovers who come from backgrounds that would normally oppose each other.
They say love transcends all boundaries, and it can be found in the strangest of combinations, such as, say, a Christian and an athiest who are both willing to recognize that in spite of their differences they can both still be together.
Rock N Roll Music was originally brought about by mixing two main types (Country/Mountain/Folk) and (Blues/Soul/Gospel). Without getting too much into the backgrounds, it can be said that Rock N Roll was a fusion of God's Music and the Devil's, which is why it makes sense the subjects of the story are called "Rock N Roll Children."
I like to intepret these lines as follows:
"They were found in the dark
But they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door"
as the two children consummating their love by committing suicide together, thus "never returning," a lot like Romeo and Juliet. The slamming of the door could be the closing of the door to Eternity after it's been shut behind their backs (i.e. after they both die)
