lyrics

Met a girl from far away
On a slow boat to no where
Caught in a life she made her daddy proud
She didn't have a care
We sat and we talked for for hours
She was pretty good company
But in those eyes I saw an island
Lost somewhere at sea

And she said all she really wanted
To be was a ballerina
And I said all I really wanted was
To be on a magazine
Ain't it funny how no one is ever
What they want to be love
We're just rolling wearily down the stream
And life ain't nothing but a dream

I wish I was an actor
A hero of the silver screen
Could've been anything I wanted
When I get tired I just change the scene

And she said all she really wanted
To be was a ballerina
And I said all I really wanted
Was to be on a magazine
Ain't it funny how no one is ever
What they want to be love
We're just rolling wearily down the stream
Life ain't nothing but a dream

When I got home to my wife and daughters
And everything that was really me
Well I left that boat in the water
Now it's lost somewhere at sea

And she said all she really wanted
To be was a ballerina
And I said all I really wanted
Was to be up on MTV
Ain't it funny how no one is ever
What they want to be love
We're just rolling wearily down the stream
And life ain't nothing but a dream
