"Many Rivers To Cross" lyrics
(originally by Jimmy Cliff)
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering, I am lost
As I travel along White Cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross
But it's only my will that keeps me alive
Said I've been licked, washed up for years
But I merely survive because of my pride
Yeah, 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
Still I know I'll have to try
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin? I'm playing for time
There'll be times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
Yeah, 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
Still I know I'll have to try
I've got 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
Said I got many rivers to cross
But just where to begin? I'm playing for time
Said I've been licked, washed up for years
But I can't seem to find my way over
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering, I am lost
As I travel along White Cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross
But it's only my will that keeps me alive
Said I've been licked, washed up for years
But I merely survive because of my pride
Yeah, 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
Still I know I'll have to try
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin? I'm playing for time
There'll be times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
Yeah, 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
Still I know I'll have to try
I've got 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
Said I got many rivers to cross
But just where to begin? I'm playing for time
Said I've been licked, washed up for years
But I can't seem to find my way over
