One other aspect of the song which we've so far not addressed (and I certainly am not qualified to do so) is the melodic and harmonic beauty of the song which made Adam's view so surprising to me. RS guitar work alone on some songs just draws me in, which is why my favorites change so often (current favorite, for example--The Humpback Whale, with The Storms are on the Ocean closing fast). As for Heloise's injury, I still tend to think of it as physical, like Norman does, but I thought it was just because of the nature of my work (personal injury). It'll keep me occupied for a while, I'm sure. I'm also still intrigued by the claim that "there is no sin,"--it's something in the song which still resonates with me, and lends a conceptual and thematic density to the song, that, if prompted, could result in a fleur-de-lis-like rerun!!.
