As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I found myself singing this song in the shower after a scorching hot dehydrating day.
"Cool Water"
All day I've faced the barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water
Keep a-movin', Dan
Don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan can't you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for me and you
The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water, cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water, cool, clear, water
Keep a-movin', Dan
Don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan can't you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for me and you
The shadows sway and 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
Keep a-movin', Dan
Don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan can't you see that happy company
Where the water's runnin' free
And they're waiting there for me and you
Cool water
Most of you have no idea who the Sons of the Pioneers were or more to the point what cowboy songs are. I see that a few stars have recorded this song, but the original mournful lament of a thirst which comes from the human soul and can not be quenched.
I honestly do not know if any of you have ever been really thirsty in your lives. I have been so thirsty that I have been tempted to drink from pools of water in the rocks which deer had lapped.
Been so heat stroked, my headache would not go away, and all I did was hiccup as my internals had shut down.
Water in this world can be as life giving as it can be wicked.
Just like some people's lives should be Hollywood wonderful and all they are is what the world really is.
