Aus aktuellem traurigen Anlass: einer meiner liebsten Songs von Cockers 94er-Album
"Have a little faith". Dabei hätte ich mir heute morgen fast ein Tränchen zerdrückt ....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ola0AcuJjQs"Standing Knee Deep In A River (Dying Of Thirst)"
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,
And dying of thirst.
Sometimes I remember
Sweethearts 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..
So the side walk 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 ...
