I absolutely LOVE this song! In my opinion it's about the death of a loved one. Someone close to her has passed away and every aspect of daily life reminds her of them, as the moon reminds her of the deceased's eyes, the blackbird reminds her of their hair etc. She was so close to that person and now feels like she is becoming them, as she is so consumed by their death. She can't move on and feels their presence around her, needing a bell, book and candle (maybe some form of prayer or ritual?) to forget about them.
