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' in 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
