Cool Water Lyrics

All day I faced,
a 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.

Keep a moving Dan
don't you listen to him Dan
he's a devil not a man
and he spreads a burning sand with water.

Dan can you see that big green tree,
where the waters' running free,
and it's waiting there for me and you?
It's water, cool, clear water.

The nights are cool,
and I'm a fool,
each stars 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 moving Dan
don't you listen to him Dan
he's a devil not a man
and he spreads a burning sand with water.

Dan can you see that big green tree,
where the waters' running free,
and it's waiting there for me and you?
It's water, cool, clear water.
cool, clear water.
cool, clear water.
