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 man he left me but he wouldnt 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.

And this loneliness won`t leave me alone
It`s such a drag to be on your own
My man he left me but he wouldnt say why
Well I guess, I have to try, yeah yeah

Rivers, rivers to cross
Yeah yeah
Rivers to cross
