The Dead often have multiple meanings behind one song. This one in particular, is about someone you want to get away from and can't seem to shake their presence.
"Running from your window",
Dressed myself in green (like a mermaid or fish)
I went down to the sea (very far away from civilization, expressing how far gone one has went to get away)
Turned around to see
Heard a voice calling, calling, calling
You was comin back to me (seeing the person once again)
Even down to the chorus, "i had to move", "on my bended knees,.. dont come around here anymore." (Begging, don't come around me)
I don't believe lyrics are as important as the feel of a Dead song. It seems they leave alot of tunes up to personal ponder. I love that, as I often get something new out of a song every time I hear it.
