My book has more bookmarks than pages
Cause it take me ages
Or is everybody reading
Is everybody reading
Standing on a black Ulster hill
I never fear the chill
Cause everybody's holding
Everybody's holding
I wouldn't swap the pain
For never knowing you
I wouldn't swap the pain
It was worth it for the view
My book has more bookmarks than pages
Cause it take me ages
Or is everybody reading
Is everybody reading
Of a sparkling Medusa
With snakes of cerise and blue
And though we're all pillars of salt now
It was worth is for the view
I wouldn't swap the pain
For never knowing you
I wouldn't swap the pain
Cause it was worth it for the view
We're still watching
Your rainbow through the shower
And we still see you
In every sunflower
We're still watching
I make days from the hours
And I still see you
In every sunflower
Every screaming sunflower
And how they scream of you
Cause it take me ages
Or is everybody reading
Is everybody reading
Standing on a black Ulster hill
I never fear the chill
Cause everybody's holding
Everybody's holding
I wouldn't swap the pain
For never knowing you
I wouldn't swap the pain
It was worth it for the view
My book has more bookmarks than pages
Cause it take me ages
Or is everybody reading
Is everybody reading
Of a sparkling Medusa
With snakes of cerise and blue
And though we're all pillars of salt now
It was worth is for the view
I wouldn't swap the pain
For never knowing you
I wouldn't swap the pain
Cause it was worth it for the view
We're still watching
Your rainbow through the shower
And we still see you
In every sunflower
We're still watching
I make days from the hours
And I still see you
In every sunflower
Every screaming sunflower
And how they scream of you

I think it must be about both, and deliberate mixing of metaphors of Lot and Medusa. Mabybe to emphasize that the he's choosing to remember her, maybe even setting aside some time deliberately to think of her, even though the memories bring him such pain? He's certainly saying if he could start all over again (with fore knowledge of her death) he would choose to be with her.
