Many rivers to cross
but i can't seem to find my way over
wandering i am lost
as i travel along 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 baby left me and he didn't say why
well i guess i'll have to try
Many rivers to cross
but just where to begin
i'm playing for time
there have been times i find myself thinking of committing
some dreadful crime
I've got many rivers to cross
but i can't seem to find my way over
wandering i am lost
as i travel along white cliffs of dover
