Bob and Randall Atcher and Bonnie Blue Eyes - Cool Water

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/2000360
All day I've faced a barren waste
Without a 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, doncha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water

Oh, Dan, can't you see that great green tree
Where the water's running free
Cool water

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

The shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water
Cool water
And way up there, hear, hear out 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

Oh, Dan, can't you see that big green tree
Where the water's running free
And it's waitin' there for me and you

Waiting for you and me
