What's this song about?

1
As so with that, I thought I'd take a final walk
2
The tide of public opinion had started to abate
3
The neighbours, bless them, had turned out to be all talk
4
I could see their frightened faces
5
peering at me through the gate
6
I was looking for an end to this, for some kind of closure
7
Time moved so rapidly, I had no hope of keeping track of it
8
I thought of my friends who had died of exposure
9
And I remembered other ones who had died from the lack of it
10
And in my best shoes I started falling forward down the street
11
I stopped at a church and jostled through the crowd
12
And love followed just behind me, panting at my feet
13
As the steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud
14
Inside I sat, seeking the presence of a God
15
I searched through the pictures in a leather-bound book
16
I found a woolly lamb dozing in an issue of blood
17
And a gilled Jesus shivering on a fisherman's hook
18
Babe
19
It seems so long
20
Since you've been gone away
21
And I
22
Just got to say
23
That it grows darker with the day
24
Back on the street I saw a great big smiling sun
25
It was a Good day and an Evil day and all was bright and new
26
And it seemed to me that most destruction was being done
27
By those who could not choose between the two
28
Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones
29
The streets groan with little Caesars, Napoleons and cunts
30
With their building blocks and their tiny plastic phones
31
Counting on their fingers, with crumbs down their fronts
32
I passed by your garden, saw you with your flowers
33
The Magnolias, Camellias and Azaleas so sweet
34
And I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds
35
You looked so beautiful in the rising heat
36
I smell smoke, see little fires bursting on the lawns
37
People carry on regardless, listening to their hands
38
Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns
39
Bored and disgusted, to do us down
40
Babe
41
It seems so long
42
Since you've been gone
43
And I
44
Just got to say
45
That it grows darker with the day
46
These streets are frozen now. I come and go
47
Full of a longing for something I do not know
48
My father sits slumped in the deepening snow
49
As I search, in and out, above, about, below
50
Babe
51
It seems so long
52
Since you went away
53
And I
54
Just got to Say
55
That it grows darker with the day
