All day I face the barren waste
Without a taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I, our throats layed 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 flowing free, waiting up ahead
For you an me
Cool, clear, water

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each stars a pool of water
Cool, clear, water
But comes the dawn
We carry on
We won't stay 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 flowing free, waiting up ahead
For you an me
Cool, clear, water

The shadows sway, they seem to say
Tonight we pray for water
Cool, clear, water
And way up there, if you care
Please tell us where there's good water
Cool, clear, water
