Many rivers to cross But I can't seem to find my way over Wandering I am lost As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover Many rivers to cross And it's only my will that keeps me alive I've been licked, washed up for years And I merely survive because of my pride But the loneliness won't leave me alone It's such a drag to be on your own My woman left and she didn't say why Well, I guess I have to try Many rivers to cross (many rivers to cross) But just where to begin, I'm playing for time There'll be times I find myself (many rivers to cross) Thinking of committing some dreadful crime Yes I got many rivers to cross (many rivers to cross) But I can't seem to find my way over (I've got many rivers to cross) wandering I am lost As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
