I've got a not-correct theory about 'weeping shades of indigo.' Since there's the Black Kettle reference (the Cheyenne chieftain, not the pot vs. the kettle black), followed by Lipan Conjuring, I think it's safe to say there's an American Indian slant to this song.
Coincidence that the etymology of 'indigo' is 'blue dye from India'? Probably. But there's something about it that evokes Native American sorrow, at least for me.
