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.

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,

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.
