Lyrics Standing Knee Deep in a River (Dying of Thirst) - 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.
We go through life, parched and empty,
Standin' 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.
We go through life, parched and empty
Standin' 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
Standin' 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
Standin' knee deep in a river, and dying of thirst...
