Intro: x 2 & x 2
1. 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
Chorus: 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 a- way
Down to the ocean where to, I can’t say
2. 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
Chorus: 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 a- way
Down to the ocean where to, I can’t say
Uhm .. x 2 & x 2
Chorus: 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, 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 we’re sailing along
and things don’t turn out as simple as simple as they seem
Chorus: I see a boat on the river, it’s sailing away
Down to the ocean where to, I can’t say
Instrument: x 2
Chorus: 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, you’re bound for the sea
if you should find him, please greet him from me
