The song is about a prostitute that was orphaned by her parents who were a prostitute and pimp. She lived virtually alone and neglected until she hit puberty "left to be trusted (neglected) til the orphan (her) bleeds (starting puberty). Uncle Salty may have been related to her or maybe he was a "john" that may have fell in love or had a relationship with her. "when she cried at night no one came. When she cried at night went insane" The neglect and ultimate hardship of living with a prostitute mother who was abused/assaulted by her "johns" while feeling abandoned drove her crazy. She becomes a prostitute at a young age because "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" so to speak all the while dealing with mental illness. "ooh it's a stormy day outside my window" can have allot of meanings. She may have become a paranoid recluse or ended up in an insane asylum or even prison on may have committed suicide.
Tragic tale . Every time I listen to the song it makes my heart hurt.
