I love Joel. He has had such a long, successful career. And if you've ever had the honor of hearing him on the piano (a solo) close up and personal, you will understand why he is deserving of respect.
I think the song is about a man who, at this moment, truly believes he'll be there and have courage, but it's the not way it will be. For when the sun rises in the sky, the temperatures warm the body, and spectacular beauty hits the streets and the beaches, everything he believes now he will not embrace then. It's just the way that it is and always will be.
And now someone up all night needs some good poetry and then a short nap with some big, furry friends. How boring that sounds, but what a rare luxury it really is...
