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.



And this loneliness won`t leave me alone

It`s such a drag to be on your own

My woman left and she did`nt 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

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.
