I can't stop listening to this song on loop. Quite possibly Tindersticks' best.
I think you're pretty spot on. I think the woman was also fooled at first by the man's "traveling light" attitude and she figures out by the end of the song who he really is after their relationship is over.
I think it's the ultimate metaphor for being in denial. Torgerson's voice combined with Staples' works like a charm for this song. Both sound so hurt and damaged by what happened within their own relationship (in the song).
I think Stuart's character wants something so much more, but the past keeps stopping him from moving forward. Even though he "travels light" there's that crack in the roof where the rain falls through where he acknowledges the denial and let's it take over. That struggle always continues no matter how he light he travels, which in reality, isn't light at all.
