The Replacements - Cool Water lyrics

All day I face the barren ways

Without the taste of water

Cool water

All day and nightour throats burn dry

And our soulsthey cry

For water

Coolclear water

The nights are cool and I'm a fool

Each star's a pool of water

Cool water

And with the dawnI wake and yawn

And carry on

To water

Coolclear water

Say dancan you see that big green tree

Where the waters run free

And it's waiting there for me

The shadows sway and they seem to say

Tonight we pray for water

Cool water

And way up therehe'll hear our prayer

And show us where

There's water

Coolclear water

Coolclear water
