Album: They Lie In Wait
(Nolan)
All day I’ve faced a 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
The nights are cool and I’m a fool
Each star’s a pool of water, cool water
And 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
He spreads the burnin’ sand with water
Say, Dan can you see that big, green tree?
Where the water’s running free
nd it’s waiting there for you and me?
And water, cool clear water
Dan’s feet are sore, he’s yearnin’ for
Just one thing more than water, cool water
Like me I guess, he’d like to rest
Where there’s no quest for water
Cool, clear water
