Standing Knee Deep in a River Songtext
von Don Williams

Friends I could count on, I could count on one hand
With a leftover 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
Standin′ knee-deep in a river
And dyin' of thirst

Sometimes, I remember 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
Standin' knee-deep in a river
And dyin′ of thirst

So, the sidewalk 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
Standin′ knee-deep in a river
And dyin' of thirst

Go through life, parched and empty
Standin′ knee-deep in a river
Dyin' of thirst
