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...
