In her preface to this song on her BBC recording, Judee said that the song was about melding of opposites. I am still sorting this out in my head. So much mentioned here seems to ring true. Judee seemed to consistently have deep Christian references, particularly Catholic, mixed with cosmic references that hedged toward the esoteric occult. She often sang of being let down in the past, but still hopeful that she would be rescued.
