Yonder Blue
Love Across Latitudes: A Melodic Tale of Distance and Yearning
Lyrics
I see on the news, it's raining in London
I observe on the news that it's raining in London
Forty-six degrees
The temperature in London is forty-six degrees
I hope you packed your raincoat darlin'
A wish for the listener to have packed a raincoat and scarf in London
A scarf to protect you from the, chilly bre-ee-ee-eze
Suggesting protection from the chilly breeze in London
I'm lookin' at the balmy Pacific
Describing the pleasant scene of the balmy Pacific with palm trees
A kickline of palm trees
Highlighting the contrast that the listener is in rainy London
Oh you're in London, it's raining, forty-six degrees.
Reiteration that the listener is in London, where it's raining at forty-six degrees
I read in the paper, it's foggy in Paris
Reported foggy conditions in Paris from the newspaper
The forecast is scattered showers
Forecast of scattered showers in Paris
I picture you standing in a light drizzle
Imagining the listener in a light drizzle at the Eiffel Tower
At the base of the Eiffel Tower
Anticipation of the speaker's arrival in Vancouver in a couple of hours
I am due to arrive in Vancouver in about
The listener is in Paris, experiencing fog and expecting showers
A couple of hours
Concerns about the listener's well-being and safety in the storm
Oh you're in Paris it's foggy expecting scattered showers.
Inquiry about the listener's health and if they are taking vitamins regularly
Half a world away are we
Reflection on the physical distance between the speaker and the listener
I worry about you constantly
Continued worry for the listener's well-being
Are you dry?
Questions about the listener's dryness in the weather
Are you warm?
Asking about the listener's warmth and safety
Are you safe from the storm?
Concern for the listener's safety from the storm
Are you taking your vitamins reg-you-lar-ly?
Inquiring about the listener's regular intake of vitamins
I tried all I've got to be with you
Efforts made by the speaker to be with the listener
That's something, you have not asked me to do
Noting that the listener has not requested the speaker's presence
So I travel around, I've barely touched down
The speaker travels around but has not stayed in one place for long
When you... call from Yonder Blue.
The listener calls from a distant place referred to as Yonder Blue
They Pilot says it's, warm and sunny in New York
A report from the pilot about warm and sunny conditions in New York
Skies are crystal clear
Clear skies in New York City
I'm descending from the West
Descending from the West, the speaker anticipates meeting the listener
You're descending from the East
The listener is descending from the East, and hopes are high for the year
Please let this be our year
A plea for the upcoming year to be positive for the speaker and listener
I can't wait, to see your face
Excitement to see the listener's face and hold them close
Hold your sweet body near
A desire to be physically close to the listener in New York
Oh it's warm and it's sunny in New York City
Reiteration of warm and sunny conditions in New York City
Skies are crystal Clea-ea-are
Crystal clear skies in New York City, expressing hope for a positive future
The future looks rosy
Optimism about the future and a suggestion to get cozy
Let's get cozy
Invitation to intimacy and comfort with the stranger
Hey Stranger over here.
A call to the stranger to come over
