Throw Out A Line And Dream
I said look at the river.
You said it's only a stream.
But I said I've seen people with nets out there
You said they just throw out a line and dream.
I see a river, you see a stream
Wise men sleep it is fools who dream
Men out there trying to net the moon
Come on down to the river (the sun is going down)
The fish will be jumping soon.
Throw out a line and dream.
I said look at the harbour.
You said it's only a quay,
And I said I've seen big ships sailing in,
You said they leave and they sail out to sea.
I say a harbour, you say a quay
You want them locked up I want them free.
Chorus
I said look at the road.
You said it's only a track,
And I said I've seen people with trucks out there
You said they leave and they don't come back.
I say a road and you say a track
I seem to need you just to bring me back
From the edge of the earth where it touches the sky
Come on down to the road (look at the horizon)
And feel the trucks rolling by.
Chorus
I see a river, you see a stream
Wise men sleep, it is fools who dream
Men out there, trying to net the moon
Come on down to the river (the sun is going down)
The fish will be jumping soon.
Chorus
Lanza una línea y sueña
Dije mira el río.
Tú dijiste que solo es un arroyo.
Pero yo dije que he visto gente con redes allí.
Tú dijiste que solo lanzan una línea y sueñan.
Veo un río, tú ves un arroyo.
Los sabios duermen, son los tontos quienes sueñan.
Hombres allá afuera intentando atrapar la luna.
Ven al río (el sol se está poniendo)
Los peces pronto saltarán.
Lanza una línea y sueña.
Dije mira el puerto.
Tú dijiste que solo es un muelle,
Y yo dije que he visto grandes barcos navegando,
Tú dijiste que se van y navegan hacia el mar.
Yo digo puerto, tú dices muelle.
Tú los quieres encerrados, yo los quiero libres.
Coro
Dije mira el camino.
Tú dijiste que solo es una senda,
Y yo dije que he visto gente con camiones allí,
Tú dijiste que se van y no regresan.
Yo digo camino y tú dices senda.
Parece que te necesito para traerme de vuelta
Desde el borde de la tierra donde toca el cielo.
Ven al camino (mira el horizonte)
Y siente los camiones pasar.
Coro
Veo un río, tú ves un arroyo.
Los sabios duermen, son los tontos quienes sueñan.
Hombres allá afuera intentando atrapar la luna.
Ven al río (el sol se está poniendo)
Los peces pronto saltarán.
