Karaoké Standing Knee Deep In A River Kathy Mattea

Friends I could count on

I could count on one hand

With a left over finger or two

I took '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

Go through life parched and empty

Standing knee deep in a river and 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 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

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

Go through life parched and empty

Standing knee deep in a river and dying of thirst
