Lyrics

Somewhere beyond the horizon blue
She's setting sail for islands new
While I'm here walking the avenues
Where memories keep crashing through

I met a girl down in old San Juan
Where Spanish houses line the streets
She was a page right out of Hemingway
With auburn hair the sun had bleached

Said she had sailed from St John's bay
But made her home in the wind
And for a short time she was a life line
To a heart adrift without a friend

Just a girl I once knew
Where cobblestones are gray and blue
And Spanish colored houses always remind me
Of days behind me like sweet perfume

I hear Havana's where she sails away
Painting pictures of the views
She's living life like a cast a way
Where coral reefs tear your shoes

I could leave today headed for the bay
And be by her side before she sails away

Somewhere beyond the horizon blue
An island girl whispers I love you
But I keep walking till I've made it through
Old memories of my youth

Just a girl I once knew
Where cobblestones are gray and blue
And Spanish colored houses always remind me
Of days behind me like sweet perfume
Like sweet perfume
Like sweet perfume
