Boney M. - I see a boat on the river - 7" version 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 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 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 I see a boat on the river, it's sailing away Down to the ocean, where to I can't say I see a boat on the river, you're bound for the sea If you should find him, please greet him from me Boat on the river
