Ingrid Michaelson - Far Away lyrics

rate me

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 bare three girls all with strawberry curls

Little Ella, and Nellie and Fay

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 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 barstool i can't stay

So im 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 water is 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-ay-ayey-ay

Where the water is blue, and the people are new

To another life, to another life

To another shoreline, in another life
