"If you want to come on down
Down with your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains pound
Into the wild, wild night"
= absolutely gorgeous.
I think this song might be about sex, actually. Words like "pound", the concept of a "wild" night and an overtly sexual, almost animalistic middle verse - "How I would love to gnaw To gnaw on your bones so white". I think the fact that the bones are "so white" are meant to symbolise innocence. It's just a boy who likes an innocent girl and wants to have sex with her, I suppose.
