Lyrics Harry Nilsson

Harry Nilsson

Many Rivers to Cross

Many rivers to cross

But I just 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

Well I've been licked, washed up for years

And I merely survived 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 me and she didn't say why

Well I guess I have to try

Sweet thing

Sweet thing

And this loneliness just won't leave me alone

You know it's such a drag to be on your own

My woman left me but she didn't say why

So I guess I have to try, try

Many, many rivers to cross

Many rivers to cross

But just where to begin

I'm praying for time

There have been times I found myself sitting in limbo

Alone, alone, for my lifetime

Many rivers to cross

But I just can't seem to find, my way over

Wandering, I am lost as I travel along

The white cliffs of Dover

I've got too many rivers to cross...
