The 5th verse is probably the hardest to figure out. I think how he uses "seven English girls" as a symbol for temptation or sin he uses "mother" as a symbol of a haven, warmth, a house, or someone caring. He can't bring forth the memory, recall, of having someone care for him after the mistake he made. He feels as that comfort is far gone.
When he sayings "and her laughter haunts my dreams" he is trying to say that he threw away something so perfect and good, like the relationship he was in, for a stupid mistake. The mother, the care and comfort, is laughing at him because he threw away something incredible. He is calling himself stupid. It ends with him searching for protection since everything he had is gone.
