She is simply describing a beautiful place. She's illustrating a large and "dangerous", yet magnificent scene. You guys are over thinking it. She made this song somewhat vague intentionally, so people would try to twist and turn the story to fit their imagination. It's pretty genius if you ask me. I remember playing this song over and over on my trip to South America and I was stuck on buses for several hours at a time. But this song for some reason stuck... it just seemed to match with all the beautiful trees, quaint villages, grandiose mountains, etc i was seeing through the window. I'm guessing it matched because in this song she is being pretty much literal.
