I See a Boat on the River lyrics

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 that 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, 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, you're bound for the sea

If you should find him, please greet him from me
