I remember reading somewhere that Neil claimed this was about a quarrel between two lovers. Not sure if it's true, but it seems to fit well, like pengy said, Neil is a truly ethereal man.
However, seeing how other songs on the album are very critical of current conflicts (i.e The Way The Wind Blows), I can see how this could be more of a broader statement about the east and west.
