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 pass 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.
 (the bridge is various As and Es... play to your liking as long as you end on A)
 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.

[A]He will take care of [E]me, he will [A7]smell like the [D]sea,
And c[A]lose to my h[E]eart he'll always [A]stay.

[A]I will bear three [E]girls all with s[A]trawberry [D]curls, little [A]Ella and
[E]Nelly and [A]Faye.
[A]While I'm combing their [E]hair, I will c[A7]atch his warm [D]stare
On our [A]island [E]in the blue[A] bay.

Far a[E]way far a[E7]way, I want to [D]go far a[A]way.
To a [E]new life on a new shore [A]line.

To a[E]nother island[D], in another life.

[A]

[A]There's a boy next to [E]me and he n[A]ever will [D]be anythi[A]ng but a b[E]oy at the b[A]ar.
And I think he's the [E]tops, he's where[A7] everything[D] stops.

On an i[A]sland i[E]n the blue[A] bay.

Far a[E]way far [E7]away, I want to g[D]o far a[A]way.
To a [E]new life on a new shore[A] line.
Where the w[E]ater is [E7]blue and the [D]people are[A] new.
To a[E]nother island[D], in another life.

(the bridge is various As and Es... play to your liking as long as you end on A)

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 [E]water is [E7]blue and the [D]people are[A] new.
To [E]another life, to [D]another l[A]ife.
To [E]another shore line
[D]In another life.[A]
