Cool WaterAll day I've faced the barren wasteWithout the taste of water, cool water Old 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 And he spreads the burning sand with water Dan can't 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'll wake and yawn And carry on to water, cool, clear, water Keep a-movin', Dan Don't you listen to him, Dan He's a devil not a man And he spreads the burning sand with water Dan can't you see that big green tree Where the water's runnin' free And it's waiting there for me and you The shadows sway and seem to say Tonight we pray for water, cool 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 a devil not a man And he spreads the burning sand with water Dan can't you see that happy company Where the water's runnin' free And they're waiting there for me and you Cool water |
