Some people have touched on the meaning.
I, personally, believe it is about the death of his mother. I'm not sure if it was a bone disease or something but it would make sense
''There's a man on the corner, selling dozens of bones,
every type of bone except the one that I want.''
The next few lines seem to describe his trying to take his mind off the thought of his mother
''Ever think what your eyes do when you're trying to sleep
Or where you tongue rests, is it against your teeth?''
''Now it's bigger than us, it's bigger than everything it decides to touch
It's bigger than a halo, a devil, an angel and a crow''
This depicts death itself, a crow, gives of a strong image of death in celtic ancestry.
