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 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
