No comments? This song is amazing. When I read it, I interpret it as a man who is caught up in infidelity with his true love, his senorita. He's overcome by guilt, and there's all this sinful imagery; she's from the "south," he meets her in "shadows," and he's begging God to protect what they have together even though it seems wrong. She's his "wise senorita," the one that he feels was put there to "save and protect him." He fears for her, that she will be caught, which is more than he can bear. It seems like he turns to God, saying that he won't do this again, he won't repeat past infidelities as long as God doesn't send him away from his wise senorita. It seems a bit like he's praying for God to watch over them, and maybe God says, "OK" or maybe He smites them... Just my screwball interpretation. Of course, I could be way off.
