Cool Water
(Bob Nolan)

All day I've faced a barren waste
Without a taste of water
Cool water.
Old Dan and I with throats burnt dry
And souls that cry for water
Cool, clear water.

Refrain   Keep amovin' 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 running free and its waiting there for you

And me.

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.

Refrain:

RG
