This song is about a man (married/not married?) having a long affair with a married woman.
She wants to remain married to her rich husband, who offers her material things and status that the singer cannot afford but she craves. Her story (affair) must remain untold.
She promises him sexual pleasure and may really love him but really is sex that she craves with him.
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbor in the tempest
But he wants all of her, without sharing. He needs all of her. But all the promises (wedding vows). All he wants is her.
@jeff100146 the only inclination to me that she is married would be the line "Your story to remain untold" ... implying their love / relationship needs to remain a secret.

I think the lines about the highway etc. are implying more that he just wants it to be her and him (which could be implying their are complications to them ... such as marriage too).
