Cool Water

Cool Water
 All day I faced the barren waste
 Without the taste of water... cool water.
 Old Dan and I with throats burnt 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 water.
 But with the dawn, I'll wake and yawn
 and carry on to water.
 Cool clear, water.
 ()
 The shadow's sway and seem to say
 "Tonight we pray for water"...cool water
 And way up there He'll hear our prayer
 and show us were there's water.
 Cool water.

 Dan's feet are sore,
 he's yearning for just one thing more than water.
 ...cool water
 Like me, I guess, he'd like to rest
 where there's no quest 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.
 Oh Dan, can you see that big, green tree,
 where the waters running free and its waiting there for you and me?
