Píseň: Many Rivers to Cross
- Interpret:
- Jimmy Cliff
- Album:
- 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 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.
Jimmy Cliff (1969)
