Many Rivers To Cross

Jimmy Cliff · The Kcrw Session [2013]

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 have to try.



Many rivers to cross but just where to begin, I'm playing for time

There'll be times 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.
