MANY RIVERS TO CROSS BY UB40????

 

LYRICS

Many rivers to cross
But I can’t seem to find my way
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 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
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 my years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.

  1. Venturing across these
    rivers in time
    I wade through your memories
    like words found in a song.
    They capture me, and your melody
    finds us crossing our steps
    dancing with each other
    laughing as our time fades away.
    I’m lost now walking backĀ 
    wondering your footprints
    can I follow themĀ 
    back to your heart?

  2. I know of a little house in the hills
    surrounded with frangipani trees
    Where I would gladly retrieve
    With so many rivers to cross
    A mindfull of thoughts
    My soul would concede..
    Upon the grass I lightly trod
    Fanning my wishes to the wind
    my secrets I dare spill.
