Leavin' the Blue Virgin Isles You had a heart like a childs Rain keeps on falling but when we were young We chased the clouds from the sun Darling, we fell to the ground Just like the leaves when they're brown Rain keeps on falling like tears from my eyes Leavin' the Blue Virgin Isles Not so long ago Your life was blooming, you had time enough to grow 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 feet Leavin' the Blue Virgin Isles You had a heart like a childs Rain keeps on falling but when we were young We chased the clouds from the sun Darling, 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 the blind man tapping roads that lead 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 childs Rain keeps on falling but when we were young We chased the clouds from the sun Darling, 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
