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 a - way
Now where they are I wish I knew
They roll by just like water
and I guess we never learn
standin' knee deep in a river
and dyin' of thirst
Sometimes I re - member sweethearts I've known
Some I've for - gotten I sup - pose
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
standin' knee deep in a river
and dyin' 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
standin' knee deep in a river
and dyin' of thirst
They roll by just like water
and I guess we never learn
standin' knee deep in a river
and dyin' of thirst
