| 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 |
