Cool Water

All day I've faced the barren waste

With out 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.
