Friends I could count on, I could count on one hand With a left over finger or two I took them for granted, let them 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 Standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst Sometimes I remember the good people I've known Some I've forgotten I suppose One or two still linger Oh, 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 So the sidewalk is crowded, the city goes by I just rushed 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 Standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst Go through life parched and empty Standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst
