He left on a boat just to follow a dream he had to find.
You cant 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.

She waited for him such a very long time, don't know what for.
'Cause she should have known, when he left on the boat, they'll meet no more.

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 you're sailing along
and things don't turn out as simple as they seem.
