Joe Cocker — Standing Knee Deep in a River

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 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 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 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
