Cool Water

All day I've faced the barren waste

Without the taste of water

Cool water

Ol' Dan and I with throats burned dry

And souls that cry of water

Cool, clear water

The nights are cool and I'm a fool

Each star's a pool of water

Cool, clear water

And with the dawn I wake and yawn

And carry on to water

Cool, clear water

The shadows sway and seem to say

Tonight we pray for water

Cool, clear water

And way up there He'll hear our prayer

And show us where there's water

Cool, clear water

Keep a-movin' Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan

He's the devil, not a man, he spreads the burnin' sand

With water

Say, Dan, can't you see that big green tree

Where the water's runnin' free? It's waiting there for you and me

And water, cool, clear water

Dan's feet are sore, he's yearnin' for

Just one thing more than water

Cool, clear water

Like me, I guess, he'd like to rest

Where there's no quest, oh, water

Cool, clear water
