many rivers to cross

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

Yes I 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

Yes, I got many rivers to cross
And I merely survive because of my pride
