Leavin´ the Blue Virgin Isles
you had a heart like a childs
Rain keeps on fallin´
But when we were young
We chased the clouds from the sun
Darlin´we fell to the ground
just like the leaves when they´re brown
Rain keeps on fallin´
like tears from my eyes
leavin´ the Blue Virgin Isles
Not so long ago -
your life was blooming
you had time enough to grow
I used to watch you from my window when you passed
on the sunburned grass
you and I would know -
we ran in meadows while the days were going slow
rolled our trousers when we waded down the creek
and jumped the stones on naked feets
Rain keeps on fallin´
but when we were young
we chased the clouds from the sun
darlin´ we fell to the ground
fell just like leaves when they´re brown
still I remember your face with a smile
leavin´ the Blue Virgin Isles
Walked along the beach
where kites were flying out
of everybody´s reach
we were children building
castles in the sand
with our freezing hands
Here I stand alone
I´m like a blind man tapping roads
that leads him home
I have to make it to the other side of life
and find my way with open eyes
Leavin´ the Blue Virgin Isles
you had a heart like a child
Rain keeps on fallin´
but when we were young
we chased the clouds from the sun
darlin´ we fell to the ground
fell just like leaves when they´re brown
still I remember our days with a smile
leavin´ the Blue Virgin Isles
