All day I've faced the barren waste With out the taste of water... cool, water Ole 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, clear water And with the dawn I'll wake and yawn And carry on To water... cool, clear water The shadows sway and seem to say Tonight we pray for water.... cool, clear 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 the devil, not a man He spreads the burnin' sand with water Say Dan can't you see that big green tree Where the water's runnin' free It's waiting there for you and me And water.... cool, clear water Dan's feet are sore he's yearnin' for Just one thing more than water.... cool, clear water Like me I guess he'd like to rest Where there's no quest For water... cool, clear water
