Could this all be a dream of the narrator?? The first three verses paint a picture of a vivid fantasy dream "Child on a painted horse", lion man" etc. etc. Similarly could be a drug induced fantasy or because a depressive state of the mind.
The last verse could be seen as them literally asleep and dreaming.
"Thoughts of a winter moon
Warm in a distant room
Why did I fall asleep so soon"
These lines could allude to that their fantasy world is cold but they are really at home safe and warm in bed.
