Cool Water

Cool Water - The Sons Of The Pioneers

All day I face 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 ya listen to him Dan

He's a devil of 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 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

Cool clear water

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

He's a devil of 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 me and you

The shadows sway and seem to say

Tonight we'll 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 ya listen to him Dan

He's a devil of 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 me and you
