All day I face the barren waste
Without a taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I, our throats slate dry
Our spirits cry out for water, cool clear water
Keep on movin', Dan
Some devils had a plan, buried poison in the sand
Don't drink it, man
It's in the water, cool clear water
In my mind I see a big green tree
And a river flowin' free
Waitin' up ahead for you and me
Cool clear water
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star is a pool of water, cool water
But come the dawn we carry on
We won't last long without water, cool clear water
Keep on movin', Dan
We're still in no man's land
Dry bones and sand
People never planned here for water, cool clear water
In my mind I see a big green tree
And a river flowin' free
Waiting up ahead for you and me
Cool clear water
The shadows sway, they seem to say
Tonight we pray for water, cool water
And way up there if you care
Please show us where there's good water, cool clear water
Without a taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I, our throats slate dry
Our spirits cry out for water, cool clear water
Keep on movin', Dan
Some devils had a plan, buried poison in the sand
Don't drink it, man
It's in the water, cool clear water
In my mind I see a big green tree
And a river flowin' free
Waitin' up ahead for you and me
Cool clear water
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star is a pool of water, cool water
But come the dawn we carry on
We won't last long without water, cool clear water
Keep on movin', Dan
We're still in no man's land
Dry bones and sand
People never planned here for water, cool clear water
In my mind I see a big green tree
And a river flowin' free
Waiting up ahead for you and me
Cool clear water
The shadows sway, they seem to say
Tonight we pray for water, cool water
And way up there if you care
Please show us where there's good water, cool clear water
