For some reason I get the sense of the song being set by the sea. I imagine Christine waking up early morning next to her lover in a house by a beach. Maybe Malibu beach or something.
That's where she and John were living when she wrote that, in their tiny 'bedsitter' (as she called it) on the beach-- she said it was basically one room with a balcony...she wrote it on a Hohner 'Pianette' that she kept in the alcove that was their bedroom. When the interviewer asked John if he was there, he said no, but chris insisted, 'You were!! You were reading!!' Apparently he had no recollection lol
