Friends I could count on

I could count on one hand
Wiih a leftover finger

Or 1WD
I took 'em for granted
Let 'em all slip away

Now where they are I wish
I knew
They roll by iusf like wafer
And I guess we never learn
We go 1hrough life parched
And empiy
Standing knee-deep in

A river

And dyin' 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 iusf like wafer
And I guess we never learn
We go 1hrough life parched
And empiy
Standing knee-deep in

A river

And dyin' of thirst
(Instrumental Break)
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 iust look the other
Way
They roll by iusf like wafer
And I guess we never learn
We go 1hrough life parched
And empiy
Standing knee-deep in

A river

And dyin' of thirst
They roll by iusf like wafer
And I guess we never learn
We go 1hrough life parched
And empiy
Standing knee-deep in

A river

And dyin' of thirst
