And I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water, cool clear 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, clear 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 you see that big green tree
Where the water's running free
And it's waiting there for you and me
Cool, clear water

Dan's feet are sore, he's yearning for
Just one thing more than water
Cool, clear water
Like me, I guess, he'd like to rest
Where there's no quest for water
Cool, clear water
