What I Want This To Accomplish

I love music. I love all kinds of music. I love a good melody and I love good lyrics. Here's the thing. Too often I have noticed people getting lost in the melodic side of a song and never listen to the lyrics, the message that the songwriter is trying to share with the listener. Words mean things and there are a lot of songs out there with great lyrics. Here you will find love and hurt, pain and longing, emotions and intimate thoughts from songwriters over the years. There will be no commentary from me on the lyrics. Just the words. The words for you to read, process and ponder and hopefully come away with a little more meaning to a song than just a lovely melody. A more complete understanding of where the artist is coming from. - Bill Clark

MANY RIVERS TO CROSS

Many Rivers To Cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I'm 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 ripped, 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 women left me but she wouldn't say why
Guess I'll just break right down and cry

Many Rivers To Cross
But just where to begin
I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some terrible crime

Still this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My girl left me but She wouldn't say why
Guess I'll just break right down and cry

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 ripped, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
