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 mindI 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 sayI 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 meet no moreI 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 sayThere 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 seemI 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, you're bound for the sea
If you should find him, please greet him from meBoat on the river
