lyrics

Hey my Italian girl
You’re so sad and far away from me these days
I’ve been halfway ‘round the world
In seven weeks and I ain’t seen your face

But don’t you fall apart on me
I’ll see you in the spring

Hey Valentina
Won’t you come back home to me?

Everyday this island
Taunts me with her ever stretching beaches
If only I could sail I’d cover
All the space between us

And if I owned a parachute
I’d fall fourteen thousand feet for you

Hey Valentina
Won’t you come back home to me?

Spent these twenty two years just wondering
How this island could have made it as a prison
And now I know ‘cause you’re not on it

I’ve been working on the day shift
And saving every dollar that I make
Today I bought my ticket
Flying north for fifteen hours straight

And when I get there in the morning
I hope you’re waiting for me

Hey Valentina
Won’t you come back home to me?
