Standing Knee Deep In A River Lyrics

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
