Battery Kinzie is a concrete Battery located on Fort Worden, Washington (http://fortwiki.com/Battery_Kinzie). A battery is a group of artillery.
Ok, so this is all out of order, but I get the impression that the singer really liked this girl who was very innocent ("wide--eyed"). He warns her about wandering in the dawn for fear that she'd be caught by someone. She does get caught. He tries to help her escape, but is caught. He can then only watch from a distance.
This probably isn't supposed to be literal though. It's like he loves this girl, but can see that she is vulnerable. She ends up in a terrible relationship and is trapped there. The verses about dying and death indicate how helpless he is to stop this and how it affects him.
Perhaps Battery Kinzie is, to the singer, an indomitable force.
