Although, there is enough interpretation room to see this as simply a dissipitating [sic] love story or virginal confrontation, I believe this song is telling the story of a Jewish prisoner in a German concentration camp.
I realize that Mercer uses advanced vocabulary here, but I think there’s at least one guy for every song who interprets it as a “story of a Jewish prisoner in a German concentration camp.” On the plus side, Springsteen gets a new pair of wings every time a song is misinterpreted.
