Many rivers to cross
but i can't seem to find my way
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 in on your own
my woman left and she didn't say why
well i guess, i gotta try.
many rivers to cross but where to begin,
i'm playing for time
there'll be times when i find myself thinking
of committing some dreadful crime.
I've got many rivers to cross

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 my years and,
i merely survive because of my pride.
