Blue Virgin Isles

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

[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...

[Refräng]
Himlen är oskyldigt blå
Som ögon när barnen är små
Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör
Rår inte stjärnorna för
Älskling, jag vet hur det känns
När broar till tryggheten bränns
Fast tiden har jagat oss in i en vrå
Är himlen så oskyldigt blå?

[Vers 1]
När vi växte opp
Lekte livet, vi var evighetens hopp
Det var helt självklart att vår framtid skulle bli
Oförbrukat fri
Somrar svepte fram
Jorden värmde våra fötter där vi sprang
Rågen gungade och gräset växte grönt
Hela livet var så skönt

[Refräng]
Himlen är oskyldigt blå
Som ögon när barnen är små
Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör
Det rår inte stjärnorna för
Älskling, jag vet hur det känns
När broar till tryggheten bränns
Fast tiden har jagat oss in i en vrå
Är himlen så oskyldigt blå?

[Vers 2]
Frusna på en strand
Flög vi med drakar medan tiden flöt iland
Vi var barn som ingen ondska kunde nå
Himlen var så blå
Nu tar molnen mark
Jag var förblindad av att solen sken så stark
Men mina ögon kommer alltid le mot dig
Kan det begäras mer av mig?

[Refräng]
Himlen är oskyldigt blå
Djupaste hav likaså
Att regndroppar faller som tårarna gör
Det rår inte stjärnorna för
Älskling, jag vet hur det känns
När broar till tryggheten bränns
Fast tiden har jagat oss in i en vrå
Är himlen så oskyldigt blå?
