I See a Boat on the River (long 12" version) Lyrics

He left on a boat
Just to follow a dream
He had to find.
You cant hold a man

Boat on the river,
Its sailing away
Down to the ocean,
Where to I cant say.

I waited for him
Such a very long time,
Dont know what for

Well meet no more.

I see a boat on the river,
Its sailing away

Boat on the river,
Its sailing away
Down to the ocean,

Boat on the river,
Its sailing away

Youre bound for the sea,
If you should find him
Please greet him from me.

There were people who came
And said its really a shame,
Why did he take off
To follow just a dream.
But I guess they were wrong,
In life youre sailing along
And things dont turn out
As simple as they seem.
Boat on the river,
Its sailing away
Down to the ocean,
Where to I cant say.

I see a boat on the river,
Its sailing away
Down to the ocean,
Where to I cant say.

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

Boat on the river,
Its sailing away
Down to
