Cool Water - Sons of the Pioneers

Cool Water

Cool Water Lyrics

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, clear water

The nights are cool and I’m a fool
Each star’s a pool of water, cool water
And 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 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
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
