As I ride by
I sit and wonder why
The river keeps flowing out to sea
My heart is yearning
I can't stop it turning
It doesn't cost anything to dream
It doesn't cost anything to dream
As ships go by
It's then I want to cry
For places I've never ever seen
I know I'm learning
I can't stop it turning
It doesn't cost anything to dream
It doesn't cost anything to dream
I wonder why the sound of the sea
And the murmur of the wind
Still keep ringin' I' my ears
I wonder why the rustling of the leaves
That brush past my feet
Fall from the trees every year
As ships go by
It's then I want to cry
For places I've never ever seen
I know I'm learning
I can't stop it turning
It doesn't cost anything to dream
It doesn't cost anything to dream
Well time and tide will not wait for no man
It just keeps moving like the sand upon the beach
My heart is yearning
I can't stop it turning
It doesn't cost anything to dream
It doesn't cost anything to dream
It doesn't cost anything to dream
