According to Cousins, the song is about the Soldiers And Sailors Monument that was outside his hotel room in Indianapolis that's bathed in blue light at night. Maybe he was in love with the marble.

When we'd ride to a dock on bended knee
But you'd just smile and gently shake your head
And put a hole through me so I was dead
Oh, I'd fall down and I was left alone
With a feeling of you still that was my own

Indeed.

I can only name one off the top of my head, and thats Changes by Yes.   I rather love that song.
