The Replacements - Cool Water LYRICS

All day I face the barren ways

Without the taste of water

Cool water

All day and night, our throats burn dry

And our souls, they 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 wake and yawn

And carry on

To water

Cool, clear water

Say Dan, can 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 there, He'll hear our prayer

And show us where

There's water

Cool, clear water

Cool, clear water
