The song is about an Island, more directly, Ibiza. Rogers said he wrote this song when they were in Ibiza recording for la valle. The song makes much more sense when it's about an island. However, it could have a double meaning and be about a girl. though i highly doubt it because water's rarely ever wrote love songs towards girls. I could go deeper but here's a quick explanation. Blue canopy = sky. He's gotta shade his eyes just to see the island. the dress is the bright white sand. Shadow of a wave is the surrounding crashing waters. Hazy visions are the mirage spectical you acheive staring across sand. The sun in her eyes is just the reflection of the sun. Moonshine made her cry is the fact the the moon brings in the tide. Ibiza is a highly forested island in the urban area, so green is her colour. The last two lines are very typical of waters's writing style. Make a huge leap to metaphysical metaphor at the end, so he could say it had artistic meaning. Oh roger. What will we do with you... oh yea. we'll go to your wall tour coming up.
Your ideas got me thinking. Perhaps "envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned" is to connect the Island to the beholder. He saw the green, and green represents the spring innocence and the veiwer feels damned; envious. Envy is the bond that links the two; which would also explain the "quicknes of the eye decieves the mind" Envy is like the electron that is bonding the hopeful and damned. Just a meeting point in the middle no matter which side feels the envy or owns it. St. Perpetua was once a prostitute...

St. Perpetua was once a prostitute and upon seeing a bishop shed tears over her wasted beauty she converted and became a saint. I believe Roger saw this island in a similiar way. When the envy gets shared like an electron bonds are made.

Green represents jealousy, and two lines later is the word "envy"
