Boney M - I See A Boat On The River 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’ll 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

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 you’re sailing along

And things don’t turn out

As simple as they seem

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

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

It’s sailing away

Down to the ocean
