Many rivers to cross but just where to begin 
i`m playing for time,
There`ve been times when 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.

Wandering i am lost as i travel along the white cliffs of Dover,

Oh,Oh,Oh.
