Joni Mitchell - Cool Water Lyrics

All day I face the barren waste
Without a taste of water
Cool water, water
Old Dan and I
Our throats slate dry
Our spirits cry out for water, 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
Pool of water, water

But come the dawn
We carry on
We won't last long without water, 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, water
And way up there
If you care
Please show us where
There's good water, water
Cool, clear water, water
Cool, clear water
Cool, clear water
Cool, clear water
Cool, clear water
