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

And said it's really a shame,
Why did he take off
To follow just a dream.

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.

Down to the ocean,

I see a boat on the river.
You're bound for the sea,
If you should find him
Please greet him for me.

Boat on the river,
It's sailing away
