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
And I know he's a lonely man
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
He's a dreamer
But he's fighting for his life
He's trying to understand
He's a dreamer
But he wants to carry on
And I know he's a lonely man
Lonely man
He's a dreamer
But he's fighting for his life
He's trying to understand
He's a dreamer
But he wants to carry on
And I know he's a lonely man
He's a dreamer
But he's fighting for his life
He's trying to understand
He's a dreamer
But he wants to carry on
And I know he's a lonely man
He's a dreamer
But he's fighting for his life
He's trying to understand
He's a dreamer
But he wants to carry on
And I know he's a lonely man
