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.

(Chorus)

They roll by

just like water

and I guess we never learn.

We go through life

parched and empty,

standing 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.

(Chorus)

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

and I just look the other way.

(Chorus)
