Don't let the interview throw your devotion to this song. Kate 
is often demurely obstinate when speaking about particular 
songs. I suspect that, as beautiful and poignant as this song 
is, that it's actually one of her "pets."

Someone else wrote that they thought this song was sexual in 
nature. I've always thought so too. The directive to "go under 
the ivy etc." seems almost to be a non-sequitur from the 
tormented lyrics...as if she's simply indulging in an escape.
