Cover art for Red Sun No. 5 lyrics by Owen Pallett

The album's about a farmer called lewis, and i think in this song he's realised that he's living a bit of a lie, and that the words he says to his wife are that which he says to his lover, who is a man so they can only be together under 'the cover of night'. maybe...

i get the sense that he just thinks his entire being is that of a server to his god. i think "HIS LOVE" is Owen's.

I think he's having an epiphany about the worth of his life and that it is meaningless without devotion to Lewis, as you both suggest. So he is kind of saying goodbye to his wife before he begins his clerical life.
