so i tore off to the phone
to call you and tell you something, but i couldn't remember what
because through the clean, clean windows
saw the plum tree's leaves, as red as fresh blood
These lines describe perfectly a stoned man's thought process. He runs to the phone to tell someone some great stoned revelation, but is easily distracted by the pretty red plum tree leaves he sees through the window.
I think this song is about being stoned.
