Many Rivers to Cross

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

And this 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 but just where to begin (many rivers to cross)

I'm playing for time

There'll be times I find myself thinking of committing some dreadful crime

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross (I've got many rivers to cross)

But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering I am lost (I've got many rivers to cross)

As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross (I've got many rivers to cross)

And I merely survive because of my pride
