Ah, see I've been thinking that was a love song since I first heard it, well you learn something new everday. :)

That's how I always thought of it, too...as a pretty juicy, erotic song. Pounding hearts, caressing winds, two becoming one--yum. I still think it's interesting that the monk who wrote it cast himself as the young woman sneaking out to visit her male lover... :-)
