I think the point of this song is simple enough: to create the "hung suspended" atmosphere of not quite rain. I don't think the lyrics are meant to congeal in a rational way -- this strikes me as a "tone poem". It's possible that the emphasis on moon and its reflection in the water suggest inward-looking and meditation -- certainly the song is observant and still. A song I love more and more as the years go by.
