Written by elton john, gary osborne and tim renwick Released as a uk b-side in 1983 Steamboat waiting by the waterside Sunlight shining on the morning tide Got my ticket in my hand Got some celebrating planned Can't remember when i felt so fine I've been waiting such a long long time Just to hear those engines hum Look out dreamboat here i come And i say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride Steam on steamboat to the other side All aboard, make it fast Thank the lord, i'm coming home at last If you love me like you did before Be there waiting on the distant shore When my steamboat comes inside Then i know we'll be alright And i say dream on dreamboat, let your love light ride Stem on steamboat to the other side Turn the crank, change the gear Raise the flag and let's get out of here Feels so good to know that soon i'll see You've been saving all your love for me For honey if there's any doubt Just be sure i don't find out And i say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride Steam on steamboat to the other side Cast the line, check the fuse Save some time, this ain't no pleasure cruise Tell the captain not to take too long Keep that big wheel turning fast and strong Fires are burning down below Come on steamboat don't be slow And i say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride Steam on steamboat to the other side Wind the springs, set the course Pull some strings before i turn to force Dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride Steam on steamboat to the other side Ring the bell, sound the horn Move like hell, i'm heading back where i was born And i say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride Steam on steamboat to the other side All aboard and make it fast Thank the lord, i'm coming home at last And i say dream on dreamboat, let your love light ride Stem on steamboat to the other side Turn the crank, change the gear Raise the flag and let's get out of here Dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride Steam on steamboat to the other side Cast the line, check the fuse Save some time, this ain't no pleasure cruise You're me dreamboat, yes you are And i say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride Steam on steamboat to the other side Ring the bell, sound the horn Move like hell, i'm heading back where i was born You're my dreamboat, yes you are
