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 pa**es 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 shure
If those years were in vain
He's a dreamer
But he's fightin' for his life
He's tryin' to understand
He's a dreamer
But he wants to carry on
And I know he's a lonely man
