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 cry.

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 will.
