I get the feeling this song is about both a piece of jewelery (golde heart) and a woman. And while he is separated from this woman the heart and the woman are one and the same as the golden heart holds all of their memories and is a constant reminder of their love.
couple of lines that i think show this
"swinging by the bangles in a main street store"
"took a loop of leather from around her neck"
"I would stop it from swinging like a pendulum
Just to hold time in my hand... I'd hold your golden heart"
"And every time I'm thinking of you from a distant shore
And all the time I sleep
I will have a reminder that my baby wore
A part of you to keep"
