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 you listen to him Dan, he's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burnin' sand with water.
Dan can't you see that big green tree where the water runs 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 you listen to him Dan, he's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burnin' sand with water.
Dan can't you see that big green tree where the water runs free
And it's waiting there for me and you.
The shadows sway and seem to say tonight we 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 you listen to him Dan, he's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burnin' sand with water.
Dan can't you see that big green tree where the water runs free
And it's waiting there for me and you.
