I don't know if I quite interpret this song quite as bleakly as rudy 38, but I hear it as the story of two lovers. During wakefulness, our narrator has to contend with all the trappings of a relationship, wearing him down a bit, but his escape is blissful sleep.
Possibly drugged out a bit ("moon-wallkin cowboy") all he wants to do is sleep and like we all know, the sleep state lets us stop thinking about all our issues and problems and escape either to dreamland or to nothingness. Either way in sleep, he's not playing the role as her lover any more.
Doesn't mean that when he wakes up he won't want to be her lover, just that falling asleep is a few hours of lovely escape...
