I stumbled across an interview with Greg published by CBC Music where he specifically addresses the genesis of this wonderful song (link below).
In short, he was in love with a ballerina who performed the dark angel in Balanchine's Serenade with the National Ballet of Canada. It was apparently written while they were together, but by the time it came to record it, she was in another relationship.
