Don Williams - Standing Knee Deep In A River (Dying Of Thirst) lyrics

Friends I could count on I could count on one hand With a left over 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 Go through life parched and empty Standing knee deep in a river And dying of thirst Sometimes I remember The good people I've known Some I've forgotten I suppose One or two still linger Oh, 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 Standing knee deep in a river And dying of thirst So the side walk is crowded The city goes by I just rushed 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 Standing knee deep in a river And dying of thirst Go through life parched and empty Standing knee deep in a river Dying of thirst...
