Standing Knee Deep in a River
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,Standin' 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.They roll by just like water,And I guess we never learn.Go through life parched and empty,Standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' of thirst.So the sidewalk is crowded:The city goes by.Letras de cancionesAnd I rush through another day,And a world full of strangers,Turn their eyes to me,But I just look the other wayThey roll by just like water,And I guess we never learn.Go through life parched and empty,Standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' of thirst.They roll by just like water,And I guess we never learn.Go through life parched and empty,Standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' of thirst.
