Many rivers to cross 
But I just 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 
Well, I`ve been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survived 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 me and she didn't say why 
Well, I guess I have to try

Sweet thing
Sweet thing

And this loneliness just won`t leave me alone 
You know it's such a drag to be on your own 
My woman left me but she didn't say why 
So I guess I have to try, try

Many (many), many (many) rivers to cross (many rivers to cross)
But just where to begin?
I am playing for time 
There have been times I found myself sitting in limbo
Alone, alone, for my lifetime 

Many rivers to cross 
But I just can`t seem to find
My way over 
Wandering, I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover, yeah
I got too many rivers to cross

Harry Nilsson

Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 – January 15, 1994) was an American singer-songwriter who achieved the peak of his commercial success in the early 1970s. On all but his earliest recordings he is credited as Nilsson. He is known for the hit singles "Everybody's Talkin'" (1969), "Without You" (1971), and "Coconut" (1972). Nilsson's career is also notable for the fact that he was one of the few major pop-rock recording artists of his era to achieve significant commercial success without ever performing major public concerts or undertaking regular tours. more »
