Far Away
Ingrid Michaelson · Girls and Boys [2007]
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
Named 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
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
Named 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
