Many Rivers to Cross Songtext
von UB40

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 in on your own
My woman left, and she didn′t say why
Well, I guess, I′ve got to try

(I've got) many rivers to cross (many rivers to cross)
But just 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
(I′ve got) wandering, I am lost (many rivers to cross)
As I travel along the White Cliffs of Dover

(I've got) many rivers to cross (many rivers to cross)
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I′ve been licked, washed up for years (many rivers to cross)
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've got to try (I′ve got)

Many rivers to cross (many rivers to cross)
But I can't seem to find my way over
(I′ve got) wandering, I am lost (many rivers to cross)
As I travel along the White Cliffs of Dover

'Cause I've got many (many), many rivers to cross, oh
(I′ve got) wandering, I am lost (many rivers to cross, oh) oh
(I′ve got many) many rivers to cross, oh (oh), oh
(I've got many rivers to cross, oh, yeah) oh, oh
(I′ve got many rivers to cross, oh, yeah)
Many, many (I've got), many, many (rivers to cross, oh)
