Don Williams - Standing Knee Deep in a River lyrics
rate meFriends I could count on, I could count on
1 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 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, 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, dying of thirst.
Go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river dying of thirst...
