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,

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.

Boat on the river,

It's sailing away
