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
