Intro: Friends I could count on I could count on one hand with a leftover finger or two I took 'em for granted let 'em all slip a - way 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 standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' of thirst Sometimes I re - member sweethearts I've known Some I've for - gotten I sup - pose 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 standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' 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 standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' of thirst They roll by just like water and I guess we never learn Go through life parched and empty standin' knee deep in a river and dyin' of thirst
