Lyrics:

[English]

There's somewhere out across the sea

In a land that's lost and free

With my darling close to me

That is where I'm supposed to be

We're somewhere on the ocean breeze

And around the swinging trees

With the only one for me

That is where I long to be

Someday

Someday yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're somewhere out upon the beach

Out of range and out of reach

With the truest love of mine

Underneath the bluest sky

Yeah, far away from any town

We'll watch the lazy sun go down

With my sweetheart I lay down

That is where I will be found

Someday

Someday yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Grammar:

  • There's somewhere out across the sea

    ➔ Existential 'there is/are'

    ➔ This sentence uses "there's" (there is) to introduce the existence of a place. It's a common way to describe something generally located somewhere.

  • In a land that's lost and free

    ➔ Relative clause using 'that'

    ➔ Here, "that's lost and free" modifies the noun "land." 'That' introduces the relative clause which provides more information about the land.

  • With my darling close to me

    ➔ Prepositional phrase indicating location/proximity

    ➔ The phrase "close to me" is a prepositional phrase. 'Close' here functions as an adjective, and 'to me' specifies the proximity.

  • That is where I'm supposed to be

    ➔ 'Be supposed to' for obligation or expectation

    "Be supposed to" expresses an expectation or obligation. Here, the speaker feels that they have a duty to be in that place.

  • We're somewhere on the ocean breeze

    ➔ Use of "somewhere" as an adverb of place

    "Somewhere" indicates an indefinite location. The sentence expresses that the speaker and their partner are in an unspecified location associated with the ocean breeze.

  • Out of range and out of reach

    ➔ Parallel structure with prepositional phrases

    "Out of range" and "out of reach" are parallel prepositional phrases, both starting with "out of". This adds rhythm and emphasis to the idea of being isolated.

  • With the truest love of mine

    ➔ Superlative adjective ('truest') with possessive pronoun ('mine')

    ➔ The adjective "truest" emphasizes that this love is the most genuine the speaker has experienced. The possessive pronoun "mine" further specifies that this love belongs to the speaker.
