He is down by the riverside
Late one night
He´s tryin´ 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 tryin´ 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 fightin´ for his life
He´s tryin´ to understand
He´s a dreamer
But he wants to carry on
Yet I know he´s a lonely man
