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 clear water And with the dawn I'll 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 For water Cool, clear water
