[Refrain]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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'll have to try

[Bridge]
Sweet thing
Sweet thing

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Many (many), many (many) rivers to cross
(Many rivers to cross) But just where to begin
I'm praying for time
There have been times I found myself sitting in limbo
Alone, alone, for my lifetime

[Refrain]
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

[Outro]
Yeah, I've got too many rivers to cross
