Karaoke Track: Standing Knee Deep In A River by Kathy Mattea (JVC)

Friends I could count on.
I could count on one hand

with a leftover

finger or two.

I took &#39;em for granted.

let &#39;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

sweethearts I&#39;ve known.

Some I&#39;ve forgotten.

I suppose.

One or two still linger.

on. 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.

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.
standing 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.
standing knee deep in a river

and dying of thirst.
