Boney M. - I See a Boat on the River (7" version) lyrics
[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
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
