He is down by the riverside

late one night

He's trying to count the stars

In each of the signs

All alone by the riverside

And time passes by

Gathering thoughts of the past

And maybe he'll cry



So they say he's a madman

And he don't understand

But I know that he's trying hard

To act like a man

All those years he has suffered , my friends

All those years of pain

But I don't think he knows for sure

If those years were in vain



He's a dreamer

And he's fighting for his life

He's trying to understand

He's a dreamer

But he wants to carry on

Yet I know he's a lonely man



He is down by the riverside

Late one night

he's trying to count the stars

In each of a signs

All alone by the riverside

And time passes by

Gathering thoughts of the past

And maybe he'll cry
