Strophe)
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
Refrain)
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
Strophe)
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
Refrain)
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
Bridge)
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
Refrain)
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
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
