Cool Water

All day I face the barren waste

Without the taste of water

Cool water

Old 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 it moving Dan

Don't you listen to him Dan

He's the devil, not a man

And he spreads the burning sand with water

Say, Dan can't you see

That big green tree

Where the water's running free

It's waiting there for you and me and water

Cool, crisp water

Dan's feet are sore

He's yearning 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

Come again my friend

Find me some cool, clear water
