"Cool Water" lyrics

"Cool Water"

All day I face 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

Keep a movin', Dan
Don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
He spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free?
And it's waiting there for me and you

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water
Cool water
But with the dawn, I awake and yawn
And carry on to water
Water, water, water

Keep a movin', Dan
Don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
He spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free?
And it's waiting there for me and you

Cool, clear water
Cool, clear water
