*** Introduction ***
*** Verse 1 ***
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
*** Verse 2 ***
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
*** Chorus 1 ***
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 gotta try
*** Verse 3 ***
(I've got) Many rivers to cross (Rivers to cross)
But where to begin, I'm playing for time
(I've got many rivers to cross)
There'll be times when I find myself
Thinking of committing, some dreadful crime
*** Verse 4 ***
I've got many rivers to cross
(I've got many rivers to cross)
But I can't seem to find my way over
(I've got many rivers to cross)
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
(I've got many rivers to cross)
*** Verse 5 ***
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
(I've got many rivers to cross)
I've been licked, washed up for years and
I merely survive because of my pride
*** Chorus 2 ***
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 gotta try
*** Verse 6 ***
(I've got) Many rivers to cross (Rivers to cross)
But I can't seem to find my way over
(I've got many rivers to cross)
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
*** Outro ***
'Cos I've got many (Many) many rivers to cross
Oh girl, uh ha
(I've got) Wandering I am lost (many rivers to cross)
Oh ooh...
(I've got many) Many rivers to cross
Oh ooh...
