Too Many Rivers To Cross Lyrics - Jimmy Cliff

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 licked, washed up for years 

And I merely survive 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 

Many rivers to cross 

But just where to begin, I'm playing for time 

There'd be times I find myself 

Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
