What do you think he's singing about? Who is he singing to? Listen to the song.
For very personal reasons, I read it as being about a father who is left to raise a child after his wife's death.
(I know there's not much evidence to support this reading.)
At first, he flees from the responsibility, then he returns, compelled by paternal instinct. The nightmare images plague him as much (if not more so) than they do the child. The child is his comfort.
Oh, I think it's certainly there. I'm just never sure if I settle on it completely.For very personal reasons, I read it as being about a father who is left to raise a child after his wife's death.

(I'm a mess.) This is an excellent interpretation as well.
It's just a paternal & protective thing in my opinion.
It is a beautiful song and so sad some tabloid scum chose to portray it as alluring to paedophilia. Moz may not have helped himself over the years over certain years, but the knives have been out for him since 1983. No wonder he has become so weary and guarded. It's also rumoured to be the first song Moz and Marr ever wrote.

Yeah, it's like crying about a ghost and a storm. Not about feeling sorry for the ghost.The line is, "Please don't cry, for the ghost and the storm outside will not invade this sacred shrine, nor infiltrate your mind "
So it's not about crying for a ghost in a storm outside(like dont cry for me, etc), its telling a child not to be scared of either a ghost or the storm outside... or the bogey-man.
