Literally speaking, this song is about the sun being in love with the moon, a love that can never actually happen. The first line sets up this premise: the "sunset" (he) sings the sweetest tune for his love the "moon" (the girl).
"Going up as your coming down," is another line that shows how the sun sets as the moon rises and therefore their love can't be fulfilled.
The sun is "jealous of the wolves when they howl out [the moon's] name". He sends his love bouncing through the stars in the hopes that someday the moon will realize how much he loves her... I think it's beautiful.
Metaphorically, I think it represents a boy who has loved a girl out of his reach for a long time. Maybe they are separated by class, family or by distance but for some reason they can;t be together. Or maybe the girl just can't see how much the boy loves her. Either way I think it's an amazing song.
