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



Darlinwe fell to the ground

just like the leaves when theyre 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 theyre brown

still I remember your face with a smile

leavin the Blue Virgin Isles



Walked along the beach

where kites were flying out

of everybodys reach

we were children building 

castles in the sand

with our freezing hands



Here I stand alone

Im 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 theyre brown

still I remember our days with a smile

leavin the Blue Virgin Isles
