This is another example of Mark Knophler's amazing story telling skill. He's basically telling how he went to a carnival and met this girl and they decided to stay anonomous to eachother, and he describes their magical night, except he uses way cooler diction then any mortal man. At the end he tells how he watched her walk away into the night, and now he's come back to see if he can find her again. Also I think he's comparing the excitement of meeting someone new to that of being on a roller coaster or various other rides.
