Ah, it is a sad song... But not because it is about relationships breaking or anything, rather it's because it speaks of death. It relates the cycle of the moon with the cylce of life. Will I die before you, or you before me? Will you be there when I die? Or can I only hope for the moon to be there? Who knows. Wil love always be around between us? It seems ike it comes and goes like the moon - always there, but it's also out of reach and it can never be taken for granted. And that's what every one seems to do: "says they own you"
Though sometimes I think that "you" is not at all about another person, but is simply refering to the moon. It's a touching ambiguity.
