Before daybreak there were none
And as it broke there was one
From moon to sun it goes on 'n' on
(No doubt in my mind this is about the book of Genesis and the progression of time into the modern era)
The winter battle was won
The summer children were born
And so the story goes on 'n' on
Come on woman with your life beats
Those we buried with the house keys
(Read these two lines together, with your life beats those we buried with the house keys. The keys to the kingdom of heaven)
Smoke and feather where the fields are green
(Smoke and feathers are both light, as in without much weight but in the bible all forms of the word light are the same and refer to goodness. The fields of green could be Eden, Earth, or Heaven.)
From here to eternity
(From Earth to Heaven and also for all time)
Come on woman in your own time
(in the modern era)
Far, far, far from the virgin vine
(far from the garden of Eden when man and woman knew not of good or evil)
Rise on out from the dead leaves
(Rise out of the attachment to the material world as in vanity, lust, want, desire for these physical things)
Come back to me
(come back to god and goodness)
Oh, she sings your favorite song
(maybe temptation)
Left to tears and dreams it goes and then on
(maybe temptation still leaves you wanting and sad)
A vessel in the bloodline
(a part of the lineage of humans)
The 13th zodiac sign
(13 may represent evil and the zodiac sign the East)
A stitch in time it goes on 'n' on
(These things are now but there is eternity)
Some day the grapes will be wine
(In the garden of Eden we ate without want and when we were cast out we were cursed to toil for our food, and after the giant flood Noah made wine and got drunk all the time and things really went to shit for a long time, but this could just refer to the progression of time and the maturing of an idea)
And some day you will be mine
(Some day you will be with god in heaven)
And so the story goes on 'n' on
(The story could be the bible, or time)
Come on woman if your life beats
Those we buried with the house keys
(if your life follows the path to heaven)
That which was put in the ground
Will some day come back around
(Maybe the garden of Eden will return in the form of heaven, or maybe Earth will be free of Evil)
From dust to dust it goes on 'n' on
(When Adam and Eve got kicked out of Eden they were cursed to a mortal existence)
