Standing Knee Deep In A River Lyrics - Have A Little Faith - Joe Cocker

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.
