Many Rivers to Cross

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

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross

And it's only my will that keeps me alive

'Cause 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

'Cause my man left me and he didn't say why

So I guess I'll have to cry

I've got many rivers to cross

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

'Cause there've been times I find myself

Thinking of committing, a dreadful crime

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's such a drag to be on your own

My man left me and he didn't say why

So I guess I'll have to cry

I've got many rivers to cross

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

But I've been licked and washed up for years

And I merely survive because of my pride

Many rivers to, oh, cross
