Friends I could count on

I could count on one hand

With a left over finger or two

I took them all slip away

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 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

Go through life parched and empty

Standing knee deep in a river dying of thirst



The sidewalk is crowded

The city rolls by

And I rush through another day

In a world full of strangers

Turn there eyes to me

And 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 dying of thirst
