Joe Cocker - Standing Knee Deep in a River lyrics
[Joe Cocker - Standing Knee Deep in a River lyrics]
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
