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 me and she didn't say why

well i guess i'll have to cry

many rivers to cross

but just where to begin

i'm playing for time

there have been times i find myself

thinking of committing

some dreadful crime

yes 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
