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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
