I think that this song is about two lovers that cannot be together because of who they are. The two lovers are symbolized in this song by the "you" and "I" in the lyrics. To me, the two lovers are like the sun and the moon. The analogy doesn't fit perfectly, but here's my reasoning.
"I can see
You above with the ocean around me
If I could only stay
Overhead in the airway
You sail through
Endless sky with the evening around you
When I'm out on the bay
You're aloft in the airway"
Imagine that this takes place by the ocean. As the sun sets into the ocean, the moon rises and sails through the sky. It's the same again later in the song, just reversed. The two are in The Airway (i.e. life) but only catch glimpses of each other as life and time keep them apart. While one is in the sky flying, the other cannot take flight because of the way the world works. These lovers would be together if they could, but life prevents them from doing so.
