Many rivers to cross

But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering I am lost

As I travel along 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 baby left me and he didn't say why

Well I guess I'll have to try

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

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 white cliffs of Dover
