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 lonliness 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 

And this lonliness 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 

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 

Yes I've got 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...
