Friends I could count on,
I could count on one hand
With a leftover finger or two
I took them for granted,
let them 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
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
We go through life parched and empty Standing knee deep in a river
And dying of thirst
So the sidewalk is crowded
And the city rolls 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 Standing knee deep in a river
And dying of thirst We go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river
And dying of thirst
