Standing Knee Deep in a River

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

Standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' 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

Standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' 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

Standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' of thirst

They roll by just like water

And I guess we never learn

Go through life parched and empty

Standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' of thirst
