- Many Rivers To Cross Lyrics / with translationsMany 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
Oh, that loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My women 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've been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
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
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
Oh, that loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My women left me and she didn't say why
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
There've been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
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
