It's a short time before sunrise and the singer is watching his lover who is lying next to him in bed, having a restless dream. During this time, he reflects on their whole relationship, which has not always been easy. He's worked for a long time to pursue her, and now they're together, but there's some turmoil remaining, and that is reflected by whatever is going on in her dream as he watches. He wants to bring her peace, and he thinks that what they both need is to go for a walk together, pre-dawn, of a city's waterfront, and everything will be better, symbolized by the light of the new day. Everything is ready for this to happen during the moments captured by the lyrics; only one thing remains, which he asks at the end of the song – for her to wake up.
