adapted from original song and lyrics by Bob Nolan
adapted from original song and lyrics by Bob Nolan
All day I face /the barren waste /*
without the taste/ of water/
Cool/ water/
Old Dan and I /with throats burned dry/
and souls /that cry /
For 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 burnin’ sand/
With Water/________/
Dan can’t you see/ that big green tree/
Where the water’s runnin’ free/ and it’s waitin’ there for you/
And me/ eeeeeee/
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/we carry on/
We won’t /last long/
without water/__________/
Cool/clear/
water/________/
The shadows sway/ and seem to say/
Tonight we pray / for water/
Cool/ water/
And way out there/ please hear our prayer/
Teach us/ to care/
For 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’t you see/ that big green tree/
Where the water’s running free/ and it’s waitin’ there for you/
And me/ eeeeeee/
Water/_______/
Cool/clear/
water/ _________/
Cool/clear/
water/__________/
Cool/clear/
water/_________/
