All day I've 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 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, dontcha listen to him, Dan He's a devil, not a man He spreads the burning sand with water Dan, can ya see that big, green tree? Where the water's runnin' free And it's waitin' 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 Water, water, 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, dontcha listen to him, Dan He's a devil, not a man He spreads the burning sand with water Dan, can ya see that big, green tree? Where the water's runnin' free And it's waitin' there for me and you? Cool, clear, water Cool, clear, water
