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
