Many Rivers Lyrics by UB40

0

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 did`nt 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
