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
