Don Williams standing knee deep in a river

Select language to translate this lyric

Friends I could count on, I could count on one hand
With a left over 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
Standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst
Sometimes I remember the 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
Standing knee deep in a river, dying 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
Standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst
Go through life parched and empty
Standing knee deep in a river, dying of thirst
