Standing Knee Deep in a River (Dying of Thirst)

Friends I could count on, I could count on one hand With a leftover finger or two I took 'em for granted, let 'em all slip away Now where they are I wish I knew They roll by just like water And I guess we never learn Go through life parched and empty Standing knee deep in a river and dying of thirst Sometimes I remember sweethearts I've known Some I've forgotten I suppose One or two still linger, oh, and I wonder now Why I ever let them go? They roll by just like water And I guess we never learn Go through life parched and empty Standing knee deep in a river and dying of thirst So the sidewalk is crowded, the city goes by And I rush through another day And a world full of strangers turn their eyes to me But I just look the other way They roll by just like water And I guess we never learn Go through life parched and empty Standing knee deep in a river and dying of thirst They roll by just like water And I guess we never learn Go through life parched and empty Standing knee deep in a river and dying of thirst
