I will live my life as a lobsterman's wife on an island in the blue bay. He will take care of me, he will smell like the sea, And close to my heart he'll always stay.
I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls, little Ella and Nelly and Faye. While I'm combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare On our island in the blue bay.
Far away far away, I want to go far away. To a new life on a new shore line. Where the water is blue and the people are new. To another island, in another life.
There's a boy next to me and he never will be anything but a boy at the bar. And I think he's the tops, he's where everything stops. How I love to love him from afar.
When he walks right pass me then I finally see on this bar stool I can't stay. So I'm taking my frown to a far distant town On an island in the blue bay. Far away far away, I want to go far away. To a new life on a new shore line. Where the water is blue and the people are new. To another island, in another life.
I want to go far away. Away away, I want to go far away, away, away I want to go far away, far away.
Where the water is blue and the people are new. To another life, to another life. To another shore line In another life.
