The meaning of this song become obvious when you consider the context. The entire CD "A Sky Of Honey" on her album "Aerial" is telling a story, firstly of awakening, then the artist who paints on a pavement in the day, then it starts to rain and makes his painting look like a sunset, and then it starts telling the story of how the sun sets, becomes the night, and then the day again.
"Somewhere in between" is the link in that chain that's about sunset.
The play on the words at the end where the vocals say goodnight to the Sun, and Kate's son Bertie answers "Goodnight mum", it a recurring theme in the album. Bertie's dialogue in "Prelude" also represents his role as the sun creating the day.
