I also think it is about a murder. It could be that these lyrics are the thoughts the killer has a few hours after the killing, when the passion resides and the cold fact remains that he has taken a life.
Dew is of course also a sign of the early morning, so it could be that he killed her during the night and now, at daybreak, is thinking about what he has done. He is alone and rationalizing the act to himself. His loneliness is comforting him at the moment, because he can not face people now can he, being a murderer? So the early morning is his friend, and the dew is his sister.
