He left on a boat just to follow a dream
He had to find
You can't hold a man when he follows a dream
That's on his mind
I see a boat on the river, it's sailing away
Down to the ocean, where to I can't say
Boat on the river, it's sailing away
Down to the ocean, where to I can't say
I waited for him such a very long time
Don't know what for
'cause I should have known when he left on the boat
We'll meet no more
I see a boat on the river, it's sailing away
Down to the ocean, where to I can't say
Boat on the river, it's sailing away
Down to the ocean, where to I can't say
Boat on the river, it's sailing away
Down to the ocean, where to I can't say
Boat on the river, you're bound for the sea
If you should find him, please greet him from me
There were people who came and said it's really a shame
Why did he take off to follow just a dream
But I guess they were wrong in life you're sailing along
And things don't turn out as simple as they seem
Boat on the river, you're bound for the sea
If you should find him, please greet him from me
I see a boat on the river, it's sailing away
Down to the ocean, where to I can't say
I see a boat on the river, it's sailing away
Down to the ocean, where to I can't say
I see a boat on the river, it's sailing away
Down to the ocean, where to I can't say
Boat on the river, you're bound for the sea
If you should find him, please greet him from me
I see a boat on the river, it's sailing away
Down to
