I interpret this song as that of a person who has died and is in the process of the spirit being moved from Earth to Heaven, but who has come to a halfway point where it is concerned which way it is going to be transported. If the song is interpreted line by line, it can be intrerpreted this way in an ethereal manner. I have listened to this song since the 1950s when it was released, and it has become my all-time favorite song above all others.
