many rivers to cross

Singer: cliff, jimmy

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 didn't say why

well i guess i have to try. many rivers to cross but just where to begin

i'm playing for time

there'll be times 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.
