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 wouldn'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. 
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 wouldn't say why 
Well I guess, I have to try, yeah yeah 
Rivers, rivers to cross 
Yeah yeah 
Rivers to cross

The Animals

The Animals were an English band of the 1960s, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne during the early part of the decade. The band relocated to London on finding fame in 1964. The Animals were known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature song and transatlantic No.1 hit single, "The House of the Rising Sun", as well as by hits such as "We Gotta Get out of This Place", "It's My Life", and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-oriented album material. They were known in the US as part of the British Invasion. more »
