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'll bear three girls
All with strawberry curls
Luella and Nelly and Fae
While I'm combing their hair
I will catch his warm stare
On our island in the blue bay

Far away, far away
I wanna go far away
To a new life
On a new shoreline
Where the world turns 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 past 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 wanna go far away
To a new life
On a new shoreline
Where the world turns blue
And the people are new
To another island
In another life

I wanna go far away, away, away
I wanna go far away, away, away
I wanna go far away
Away
Away
Where the world turns blue
And the people are new
To another life
To another life
To another shoreline
In another life
