Paroles de 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.
