Standing Knee Deep In A River (Dying Of Thirst)

Friends I could count on, I could count on one hand

with a left over 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.

we go through life, parched and empty,

standin' 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.

we go through life, parched and empty

standin' 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.

we go through life, parched and empty

standin' knee deep in a river, and dying of thirst...

They roll by just like water, and I guess we never learn.

we go through life, parched and empty

standin' knee deep in a river, and dying of thirst...
