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 
STANDING 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 
GO THROUGH LIFE 

PARCHED AND EMPTY 
STANDING KNEE DEEP 
IN A RIVER 
AND DYING OF THIRST 

8 BAR 
INSTRUMENTAL 
BREAK 


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 

STANDING KNEE DEEP 
IN A RIVER 
AND DYING OF THIRST 
THEY ROLL BY 

JUST LIKE WATER 
AND I GUESS 
WE NEVER LEARN 
GO THROUGH LIFE 

PARCHED AND EMPTY 
STANDING KNEE DEEP 
IN A RIVER 
AND DYING OF THIRST
