Okay, first off I think that the lines are NOT "My dromedary dreams as wet as oceans ..With sand dunes bearing seeds she set in motion". I believe it should be "My Londonderry dreams, to cross the oceans, We sail through burning seas, she sets in motion." Remember that Ozzy is British, and therefore the "London" is pronounced differently than Yanks say it. Londonderry is a british seaport.
Next, the line "Although you think I can, I'm just a man, and I don't walk on water". What I hear on this is "Although you think I can, I'll just admit it --- I don't walk on water, oh no....."
As far as meaning, whether you think of this as being about Ozzy himself, or just anyone who finds themself in the situation of having someone infatuated with them. The other person thinks you can walk on water -- but you are admitting to them and to yourself that you are in fact human.
