It seems fairly clear what the general meaning of the the song is, though "The Devil's Tears" might not be.
When a child is crying to you, they usually show some form of desire in their eyes. Sometimes you can't resist but to fulfill their desire because you want them to be happy, even if that means slightly impairing their safety.
The tears of the Devil might be seen as being innocent as well, when in truth the core desires and intentions of the desires are for evil. Angus is singing here and saying that he knows he will be swayed in the ways of the Devil, fulfilling many evil and selfish desires, but nothing will take him away from his woman who is like a home to him. He will stay faithful and forever loving, despite any temptations this wild world has. He, like a child, wants more to be with the one who makes him have meaning and purpose, one who can take care of him and be a loving haven of safety. It is shown in this song that this homeliness can only be delivered by your lover.
