Cool Water
Bob Nolan

All day I faced the 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-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 you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for you and me

Water, cool, clear water

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water

Cool water

And 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 you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for you and me

Water, cool, clear water

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 you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for you and me

Water, cool, clear water
