Lyrics
Margaret went all the way with Vincent
They went to a ballgame for their honeymoon
They had a baby girl by Christmas
Oh but Vincent got the blues early that winter
And he went sailing off for Tahiti
Or maybe to try out with the Cleveland Indians
Oh, what you going to do when the one you love
Blows away like the clouds above?
And all he leaves behind is the blue in the baby's eyes
And the sunlight shining like crazy in the kitchen
But Margaret followed the days where they led her
She kept Vincent's ring
She watched for his letters
The baby learned to talk
The mailman asked Margaret out to the movies
She was making up her mind
When the radio went screwy
Yes, and every station played her and Vincent's song
And all the dogs and cats and children
In the neighborhood sang along
Oh, what you going to do when the one you love
Blows away like the clouds above?
And all he leaves behind is the blue in the baby's eyes
And the sunlight shining like crazy in the kitchen
And if only it would stop raining
Maybe it would seem more like summertime
Why, I remember one Fourth of July
Your daddy and I
Margaret quit waiting for Vincent's letters
She learned dictation and shorthand
And went dancing with the mailman
And the baby liked him too
And even the radio quit misbehaving
Except for one summer's night
Right before it started raining
A hot wind blew in some mystery station
It was the bottom of the eighth
The Cleveland Indians were trailing
Oh, what you going to do when the one you love
Blows away like the clouds above?
And all he leaves behind is the blue in the baby's eyes
And the sunlight shining like crazy in the kitchen
