This song is lovely!
I see this song as 2 people from different fields/backgrounds, which is cleverly put in this song. The girl probably really appreciates him and saw things in him she really likes, in a pure way and would not do anything that would be wrong, or simply respects him, or maybe one of them was married? Perhaps she did not want to mix the "out of this world" feeling with the carnal one? She must be some kind of girl with strong principles or something :)
The boy I think, coming from a different field, is surrounded by so many temptations... has difficulties -through no fault of his own- to see that there can be things that are better and higher and more uplifting and lasting than romance. Perhaps she knows there are things that are higher that he does not know of, or never has experienced before, and so did not understand it. Perhaps because of what he is surrounded with, he failed to feel or see why he felt that way? The girl sensing it, did not want to abuse the situation and still loves him with a pure love which may be frustrating on the boy's part, because he does not understand that kind of love?
The girl must too be sad to realise what he has gone through. It is such a clever song!
I think Robert should be recognized as a poet as well as a musician, songwriter, singer and performer. I love the way he writes, he is different from a lot of English/American artists!
