Verse

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 survived because of my pride

Chorus

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
C G G/F#m Em
My woman left and she didn't say why
C D N.C.
Well I guess I have to try
Many rivers to cross 
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

Verse

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 survived because of my pride

Chorus

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
C G G/F#m Em
My woman left and she didn't say why
C D N.C.
Well I guess I have to try
