I have things to add.
I do believe this was about a homeless mans soulmate or imaginary soulmate due to being lonely.
I think this a direct connection from "Lonely Man on the Corner". These songs are connected.
Even down to the simailar musical motif at the beginning of the song, Lonely Man and Sarah Jane are
almost identical.
Anyway, i beieve the man was the lonely homeless person, and lived his life in his own reality and invented
an imaginary soulmate "Sarah Jane" .
I also thing they were trying to say that he was manic depressive possible in this lyric
"Searching for a clue.
Traces on the sand.
First I'm flying, going round round round,
Then I'm sliding going down down down,
Doesn't matter where I start I always end up
Falling through those same old crowded rooms"
Many schizophrenics and manics look for things that aren't really there
until they find something that was created in there own head.
Almost like, thinking too much.
It does make sense,
that he invented his soulmate so he could die happy.
I agree with Screegee and Ivmuzic.
