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...
