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
