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.

To a new life on a new shore line.

Where the water is blue and the people are new.

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,
           Am        F
he's where everything stops.

How I love to love him from afar.

When he walks right pass me then I finally see
       C                  G
on this bar stool I can't stay.
       C         G          Am         F
So I'm taking my frown to a far distant town

On an island in the blue bay.
