Lyrics

All day I faced
The barren waste
Without the taste of water
Cool water
Ol' Dan and I
With throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water
Cool, clear water
Dan, can you see that big green tree
Where the water's running free
And it's waiting there for you and me
The night's so 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 (water)
Cool, clear water (water, water)
Keep on moving, Dan
Don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
And he spreads the burning sands
With water (water)
Dan, can you see that big green tree
Where the water's running free
And it's waiting there for you and me
