Lyric discussion by steelreserve 

i love this song as well. It is confusing but what i can see is how the green river flows like grass melting.. here its like when grass is being burned it turns black like the green river which turns black running into the ocean. A dim light against her back on a bridge gives a possible dreary image. maybe the writer of this wants to take the girl the drunk man said he would meet away from this dreary place and float high above all someday when he find her or makes her his own..????
