Cool Water

All day I've faced the barren waste Without the taste of water Cool water Ole Dan and I, with throats burned dry And souls that cry for water Cool, clear water The nights are cool and I'm a fool Each star's a pool of water Cool water But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn And carry on to water Cool, clear water Keep a-movin' Dan don't you listen to him Dan He's the devil, not a man And he spreads the burnin' sand with water Say Dan can't you see that big green tree Where the water's runnin' free And it's waiting there for you and me And water Cool, clear water The shadows sway and seem to say Tonight we pray for water Cool water And way up there He'll hear our prayer And show us where there's water Cool, clear water Dan's feet are sore he's yearnin' for Just one thing more than water Cool water Like me I guess he'd like to rest Where there's no quest for water Cool, clear water So keep a-movin' Dan don't you listen to him Dan He's the devil, not a man And he spreads the burnin' sand with water Dan can't you see that big green tree Where the water's runnin' free And it's waiting there for you and me And water Cool, clear water
