Lyrics

Friends I could count on, I could count on one hand

With a leftover 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

Go through life parched and empty

Standing 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

Go through life parched and empty

Standing 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

Go through life parched and empty

Standing knee deep in a river and dying of thirst

They roll by just like water

And I guess we never learn

Go through life parched and empty

Standing knee deep in a river and dying of thirst
