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 (Ah) and this loneliness won't leave me alone (Ah) it's such a drag to be on your own (Ah) my woman left and she didn't say why (Ah) well, I guess I'll have to try Many rivers to cross (many rivers to cross) But just where to begin? I'm playing for time (I've got) There be times I find myself (many rivers to cross) Thinking of committing some dreadful crime (I've got) Yes, I've got many rivers to cross (many 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 Yes, I've got many rivers to cross (many rivers to cross) And I merely survive because of my pride
