Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
And wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
I got many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I only 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 me and she didn't say why
And I guess I have to cry
Many rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
(I've got) there've been times I've found myself (rivers to cross)
Thinking of committing some serious crime
Yes I've got many rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
But I can't seem to find my way over
Yes I've got many rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've got many rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
And I can't seem to find my way over
