Words and music by bob nolan   Revised lyrics by joni mitchell      All day I face the barren waste   Without a taste of water   Cool water   Old dan and i   Our throats slate 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 flowin' free   Waitin' up ahead   For you and me   Cool clear water      The nights are cool and I'm a fool   Each star is a pool of water   Cool water   But come the dawn   We carry on   We won't last 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 flowin' free   Waiting up ahead for you and me   Cool clear water      The shadows sway   They seem to say   Tonight we pray for water   Cool water   And way up there   If you care   Please show us where   There's good water   Cool clear water
