I don't really know what the song is about, but when I heard it, I had the most profound sense of awakening. Simply the way I saw the world when I was a kid, just came back to me. As you get older things get less foggy and more contrasted, all the colors turn to black and white. Robin's playful singing and the urgency of the percussion and drums, the helpful guiding of the backing vocals just reminds me seeing the world as a big playground and dancing with the wind.
"I know someday the smoke will all burn off
All these voices I'll someday have turned off
I will see you someday when I've woken
I'll be so happy just to have spoken
I'll have so much to tell you about it"
But I will tell you that this album was powerful enough to make Robin's wife/girlfriend come back to him (see Wikipedia). I bought it just for this song.
The song may have been written to a lover, but my own personal interpretation is it's written to a past self that used to dream with abandon.
