Cool Water

(Words and music by Bob Nolan)



All day I've faced a barren waste

Without the taste of water, cool water

Old Dan and I

With throats burnt dry

And souls that cry for water

Cool 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 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 water

Cool, clear water.



The nights were 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.



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 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 water

Cool, clear water...
