I will live my life as a lobster man'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, Lou 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 pa** 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
