Friends I could

count on
With a leftover

finger or two
I to ok '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
Standing knee deep

in a river
And dying of thirst
Sometimes

I remember
Some I've forgotten
I suppose
One or two still linger
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
The city goes by
And I rush through

another day
And the world full
of strangers
Turn their eyes to me
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 )f thirst
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
