I agree. That would seem to be the most logical take. I sometimes think perhaps R doesn't try to be that exacting. I'm remembering our examination of Whipoorwill, Fleur de Lis, etc. The lyrics don't need necessarily to be precisely accurate or understandable to work within the song. Maybe knowing that Sister Marie's soul is like a prism that refracts forgiveness from wherever it comes (even from within) is enough?
