Lyrics

Many rivers to cross

There are numerous challenges or obstacles in life.

But I can't seem to find my way over

Despite the challenges, the speaker is struggling to overcome them.

Wandering I am lost

The speaker feels aimless and without direction.

As I travel along white cliffs of Dover

While journeying near the white cliffs of Dover, the speaker feels lost and uncertain.


Many rivers to cross

Reiterates the idea of facing numerous challenges.

And it's only my will that keeps me alive

The speaker's determination and willpower are what keep them going.

I've been licked, washed up for years

The speaker has faced defeat and failure for a long time.

And I merely survive because of my pride

Survival is only possible due to the speaker's pride and determination.


And this loneliness won't leave me alone

The feeling of isolation and emptiness persists.

It's such a drag to be on your own

It's burdensome and unpleasant to be alone.

My baby left me and he didn't say why

The speaker's partner left without explanation, causing emotional distress.

Well I guess I'll have to try

The speaker will have to cope and move on despite the partner's departure.


Many rivers to cross

Emphasizes once again the multitude of challenges faced.

But just where to begin

The speaker is unsure where to start addressing their challenges.

I'm playing for time

The speaker is buying time or delaying dealing with their problems.

There have been times I find myself thinking of committing

The speaker has contemplated extreme actions due to intense emotional turmoil.

Some dreadful crime

Expresses the desperation and severity of the speaker's situation.


I've got many rivers to cross

Repeats the idea of facing multiple obstacles or challenges.

But I can't seem to find my way over

The speaker is still struggling to overcome the challenges they face.

Wandering I am lost

Reiterates the feeling of being lost and directionless near the white cliffs of Dover.

As I travel along white cliffs of Dover

Continues the metaphor of feeling lost while journeying near the white cliffs of Dover.
