Many Rivers To Cross — текст песни (Jimmy Cliff)

(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 lonliness won`t leave me alone
It`s such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn`t say why
Well, I guess I`ll have to cry

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

Yes 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

Yes I`ve got many rivers to cross
And I merely survive because of my will ....
