Lyrics

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 (many) rivers to cross (rivers to cross)

But just where to begin? I'm playing for time

There'll be times (many) I find myself (rivers to cross)

Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

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

But I can't seem to find my way over

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

As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
