Jim Ed Brown - Cool Water Lyrics

(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...
