Standing Knee Deep in a River

Friends I Could Count On
I Could Count On One Hand
With a Left Over Finger Or Two
I Took Them All Slip Away
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 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 Dying of Thirst

The Sidewalk Is Crowded
The City Rolls By
And I Rush Through Another Day
In a World Full of Strangers
Turn There Eyes to Me
And 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 Dying of Thirst
