Cool Water

(álbum: Salutes The American Cowboy / Songs Of The American Cowboy - 1982)

All day I've faced 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

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-moving, 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 it's waiting there for you and me
Cool, clear, water

Dan's feet are sore, he's yearning for
Just one thing more than water, cool, water
Like me I guess he'd like to rest
Where there's no quest for water, cool, clear, water

Keep a-moving, 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 it's waiting there for you and me
Cool, clear, water
Cool, clear, water
