Cool Water

1. All day I face the barren waste

2. The nights are cool and I'm a fool

3. The shadows sway and seem to say

4. Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for

 

With-out the taste of water, cool water

Each star's a pool of water, cool water

To - night we pray for water, cool water

Just one thing more than water, cool water

 

Old Dan and I with throats burned dry

But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn

And way up there He'll hear our prayer

Like me I guess he'd like to rest

 

And souls that cry for water, cool, clear, water

And car-ry on to water, cool, clear, water

And show us where there's water, cool, clear, water

Where there's no quest for water, cool, clear, water

 

Chorus:

Keep a-movin' Dan don't ya listen to him Dan

 

He's a devil not a man and he spreads the burning sand with water

 

Dan can you see that big green tree

 

Where the water's running free

 

And it's waiting there for you and me?
