This song haunts my soul in a beautiful way. To me it is just John's reflection on his life, what it has meant to him, note all the references to life-like cycles-tide, wind, moon rising up, etc...
I think he is just trying to figure out what may be missing in his life he feels a lot of pain about something that he can't quite place his finger on, and he therefore he asks why?
All of these thoughts he has relate to the irrelevance of time, these matters in his life are far more important than the concept of time...I guess what I'm saying is he wants purpose in life and this purpose has no true relation to time.
Just a man staying up all night forgetting about the time and feeling a little lonely.
