All day I faced the barren wastes Without a taste of water, cool water Oh, Dan and I, with throats burnt dry And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water Keep on moving, 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't you see that big green tree Where the water's running free And it's waiting there for me and you Water, cool, clear water The nights are 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 Keep on moving, 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't you see that big green tree Where the water's running free And it's waiting there for me and you Water, cool, clear water Cool water And way up there, he'll hear our prayer And show us where there's water Cool, clear water Keep on moving, 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't you see that big green tree Where the water's running free And it's waiting there for me and you Water, cool, clear water I need water, cool water I need water
