Way Over There
Journey of Love: Across Mountains and Rivers
Lyrics
I've got a lover way over there on the mountain side
I have a lover situated on the mountain side.
And I know that's where I should be
I believe that being with my lover on the mountain is the right place for me.
Don't you know
Expressing a sense of certainty or conviction.
I've got a lover way over there across the river wide
I have another lover across the wide river.
I can hear her calling to me
I can hear her calling out to me.
Oh, she's calling my name
She is audibly calling my name.
So sweet so plain I can hear her saying
Her voice is sweet and clear, expressing a straightforward message.
(Come to me, baby)
Quoting her words, indicating an invitation.
I'm on my way
I am en route to her.
(Come to me baby)
Reaffirming the intention to reach and stay with the lover.
I'm gonna stay
Committing to stay with the lover upon arrival.
(Come to me baby)
Repeating the desire to come to the lover.
They tell me that the river's too deep
Others suggest that the river is an obstacle - too deep and wide.
And it's much too wide
Describing the challenging nature of the river.
Boy, you can't get over to the other side
People claim it's impossible to cross to the other side.
But they don't know I got to get there
Contrary to opinions, the speaker is determined to reach the other side.
And hold her in my arms just one more time
Expressing the desire to hold the lover in arms once again.
Like I did before when she was mine, all mine
Recalling a past time when the lover belonged solely to the speaker.
'Cause I hear her saying,
Quoting the lover's words again, signaling the desire for reunion.
(Come to me baby)
Reiterating the lover's call to come.
I'm on my way
Confirming the speaker's ongoing journey toward the lover.
(Come to me baby)
Reaffirming the commitment to stay with the lover.
I'm gonna stay
Consistent repetition of the determination to stay with the lover.
I'm gonna get to you
Expressing a strong determination to reach the lover.
No matter what I have to do
Regardless of challenges, the speaker is committed to reaching the lover.
