Blue Virgin Isles Lyrics by Ted Gärdestad

Blue Virgin Isles

0

[Chorus]
Leavin' the Blue Virgin Isles
You had a heart like a child's
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 falling, like tears from my eyes
Leavin' the Blue Virgin Isles
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Leavin' the Blue Virgin Isles
You had a heart like a child's
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 falling, like tears from my eyes
Leavin' the Blue Virgin Isles
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Leavin' the Blue Virgin Isles
You had a heart like a child's
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 falling, like tears from my eyes
Leavin' the Blue Virgin Isles...
