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 kept
Washed up for years
And I've barely 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 did not say goodbye
Well I guess I'll just have to cry

There are many rivers to cross
But just where to begin
I'm playing for time
There have been times
I've found myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find
My way over
Wandering I'm lost
As I travel along
The White Cliffs of Dover
