FAR 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 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 shoreline, in another life..."
