(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 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 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.
