Ingrid Michaelson Far Away song lyrics

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 past 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

If I wanna go far away, away, away

I wanna go far away, away, away

I wanna go far 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
