The beginning verse of this song has been considered as a reference to the use of psychedelic drugs. The verse reads, "Take another sip my love and see what you will see / A fleet of golden galleons, on a crystal sea." This verse is open to other, more innocent interpretations. For instance, the "sip" could be a sip of wine consumed while reading a book about Camelot.
