As I Ride By

As I Ride By - The Troggs

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
