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.
