| I think the singer's sister has died, and the guitar at the beginning is like the church bells. The bodies gliding from room to room are like the people who came to the funeral, maybe the pall-bearers. I used to think that it was his girlfriend or something, who is more than a "friend of the family", and the bodies gliding from room to room are he and she dancing. I just get a cool picture of two people waltzing throughout the house. But the "where have you gone?" sort of suggests the death, as does the "catch that light" | |

| I dont know.. but when it says "She's a doll, oh yeah She's his spitting image. " It makes me think he's talking about his daughter. Maybe she died? I have no clue. But this song does make you feel something thats for sure. | |

| I like the church bell idea. I think it's a girlfriend that dies or maybe they separated and he wants her to "catch that light" that is all that is good in life. It could allso deal with friends whose relationships run out or die and he is lonely at home when it's over. I'm still confused on the meaning but love the song though. | |
