Friends I could count on, I could count on one hand with a left over 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. we go through life, parched and empty, standin' 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 standin' 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. we go through life, parched and empty standin' knee deep in a river, and dying of thirst... They roll by just like water, and I guess we never learn. we go through life, parched and empty standin' knee deep in a river, and dying of thirst...
