Here is my analysis.
Bright morning lights
Wipe the sleep from another day's eyes
-Obviously he's waking up
Turn away from the wall
And there's nothing at all
Being naked and afraid
in the open space of my bed
-I think the singer has just woken up from a night of sex with a girl- probably a prostitute or someone he met in a bar, because he doesn't seem to know her that well, and she left when he awoke. He turned away from the wall, expecting to see her, and found nothing.
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
-He wants to see her again.
We lie on a cloud
We lie on a cloud
We lie
-Recalling memories of the night. He was in Heaven.
Just as I am
I awoke with a tear on my tongue
-He was sad she had left.
I awoke with the feeling of never before
In my sleep I discover the one
-This is probably the first time the singer has done something like this, probably the first time he's had sex with someone. Thus the feeling of never before. He discovers someone to love when he sleeps with her.
But she ran with the morning sun
-She is gone.
Another time, another place
-Anywhere but here and now. Possibly recalling memories again, and thinking "I don't want to do this" at the time.
Another child has lost the race
-The singer is no longer a child. He has lost his virginity.
Your time, your price
-He will see her again when she is ready- on her time- and it's only her own price
Your time, your place
-Describing the meeting that will happen in the future on the girl's terms.

Similar to An Cat Dubh, no?
@EnduringChill Great interpretation, exactly what I was looking for here.
