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 man he left me but he wouldnt 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.

And this loneliness won`t leave me alone
It`s such a drag to be on your own
My man he left me but he wouldnt say why
Well I guess, I have to try, yeah yeah

Rivers, rivers to cross
Yeah yeah
Rivers to cross

Jimmy Barnes

James Dixon Swan (born 28 April 1956), better known as Jimmy Barnes, is a Scottish-born Australian rock singer-songwriter. His father Jim Swan was a prizefighter and his older brother John Swan is also a rock singer. It was actually John who had encouraged and taught Jim how to sing as he wasn't really interested at the time. His career as both a solo performer and as the lead vocalist with the rock band Cold Chisel has made him one of the most popular and best-selling Australian music artists of all time. The combination of 14 Australian Top 40 albums for Cold Chisel and 13 charting solo albums, including nine No. 1s, gives Barnes the highest number of hit albums of any Australian artist. more »
