last night hubby and i snuck a trip to the beach, just he and i. the light was fading, the wind was ever so warm and blustery. we ate lobster rolls & onion rings out of paper cartons, while we sat on a sheet in the sand and watched a storm blow in. we then took a drive down the road to the marina, where i snapped away at the water and the old weathered boats.
and then i heard this play in my head....
"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. "
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. "
