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 lickedwashed 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 didn t say why
Well I guessI 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 lickedwashed up for years and
I merely survive because of my pride.
