Many Rivers Lyrics - Ub40

Many rivers to cross 

But I can't seem to find my way 

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 in on your own 

My woman left and she didn't say why 

Well I guess, I gotta try. 

Many rivers to cross but where to begin, 

I'm playing for time 

There'll be times when I find myself thinking 

Of committing some dreadful crime. 

I've got many rivers to cross 

But I can't seem to find my way 

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 my years and, 

I merely survive because of my pride.
