Far Away

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 barstool 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 Away, away, away Where the water is blue and the people are new To another life, to another life To another shore line In another life --- Far Away - Ingrid Michaelson
