He is down by the riverside Late one night He's to count the stars In each of the signs All by the riverside And time passes by Gathering thoughts the past And maybe he'll cry
So they say he's madman And he don't But I know that he's tryin' hard To act like a man All those years has suffered, my friends All those years of pain But I don't think he knows sure If those years were in vain
He's dreamer And he's fightin' for life He's tryin' to understand He's a dreamer But he to carry on Yet I know he's a lonely man
