Am I interpreting these lyrics correctly?

"Sing for me, 'Cuckoo'

In your pretty voice

Say that the one you love is me

Beloved little bird, mine alone

Please sing always at my side"

I'm certain that I can hear even now

Your gently whispering voice, but

That is just an illusion of a person who no longer exists

Carried in to me by the ocean breeze

I've been waiting alone a long, long time

For a person who will never return

I locked myself in this birdcage

Made of willow branches

Even though there is no one left

To turn the screw on my back for me

"Sing for me, 'Cuckoo'

In your pretty voice

Say that the one you love is me

If I could, I'd like to take a key

And lock you up in this cage"

No matter what it was

I wanted to grant all you wished for

But leaving behind only those wishes

You departed on an eternal journey

In the house upon a hill which overlooks the sea

Only dust gathers now

I locked myself within this birdcage

Made of willow branches

As I wait for the day I can return

To the arms of the one who made me

So... Junko Iwao's boyfriend is dead, and now she's all possessive and wants his ghost to be her prisoner for all eternity?

The dying part seems pretty accurate, yeah.

...though, the parts in quotes confuse me. Who's saying that? Is it the singer, or is the singer quoting the boyfriend? Because if it's the former I can agree with your interpretation, but if there is anything that can suggest the latter, I'd say that she is trying to fulfil something that he once said; she's locking herself in the birdcage because he once said that if he could, he would lock her in the cage so that she would always stay next to him.

I think the singer's just babbling to herself for four minutes. There's no second line of conversation.
