i had another thought, a complex one, but ill do my best trying to explain that.

Nancy represents honesty which is also a mystery, kind of a god. when he says there was no one at all - he means no one was honesty. she slept with everyone - she belongs to everyoone - not only 1 religion. she fell in love for us - she(god) loves us for for our's sake. nancy is alone, she never said she's wait for us- god wont wait for us people to be honest. we told her she was beautiful, free but none of us would meet her - religous people are hypocrite. and now you look around you, see her everywhere - now after you've heard all this you see her, "nancy", god. many used her body - many used god's name in the hollow of the night when you are all alone... - when you are alone, at your most "with yourself", thinking , time you can see her, you know the truth.

i hope you liked my point of view :)
