Tim Blake Nelson Cool Water Lyrics

(The Ballad of Buster Scruggs Soundtrack)

[Verse 1]
All day I face
The barren waste
Without the taste of water
Cool water

Ol' Dan and I
With throats burned dry
And souls that cry
For water
Cool, clear water

[Chorus]
Dan can you see
That big green tree
Where the water's running free
And it's waiting there for you and me?

[Verse 2]
The nights are cool
And I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water
Cool water

But with the dawn
I wake and yawn
And carry on
To water
Cool, clear water

Keep 'em moving, Dan
Don't you listen to 'em, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
And he spreads the burning sands
With water

[Chorus]
Dan can you see
That big green tree
Where the water's running free
And it's waiting there for you and me?
