It's a pretty song. I have nothing to add about the meaning in particular, but, in reference to the bit about Cincinnati, it's Over The Rhine...a district in the city named in reference to the Rhine River in Germany. It was named because people once had to cross a waterway to get into it...that waterway is gone, but Over The Rhine is still there and it's interesting in the sense that it's another reference to water.
