He's 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 had 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
