I think this song is probably about how she falls in love with someone she knows she shouldn't/cannot be with, but thinks about them all the time, because he either left or died. The last verses illustrate in a dream how she is in love, but has lost him, and she knows she needs to let him go, but doesn't want him to.
"Found yourself a serpent this time...lusting for the fruits we have tried." The first few lines are expressing how humanity fall into temptation, even if we know it is wrong, using the example of Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit.
"I carry your bones in my heart." But she's in love with this person and thinks of them all the time.
"Darkness in his fingertips, eyes just the same; told me there was no one to blame." He either left on his own account or died on accident, and she wants to blame someone, but she knows deep down that she shouldn't.
"I dreamt of your calling again. You told me to run from temptations of grandeur that come with the visions of him." She hears him in her dreams tell her he's not worth fawning over and being in love with because it is all lust or not worth it.
"...swallowed by hunger to see you again." She ignores what he says and still wishes to see him, awake and in her dreams.
"running through fields sweet seas of golden
there it was you in the house near the grain
dark the night, high the noontime
bitter and begging my dear don't you go." In her dreams, she is still with him, but near the end, she always begs him to not leave, a translation as to that in reality, she wishes that she could have kept him there/alive and everything would have been beautiful and simple just like running through fields(a classic love scene).
"The sun turned to ash and your body was withered." This is where he either leaves or dies, and I'm guessing he most likely died. He probably grew sick and died or died in a fiery accident, such as a car accident or cooking incident.
"Your bones I let go and the dream did subside." This is her in her dream finally letting him go, or her subconscious telling her that she needs to let him go and catch up with life.
