thirst

'All day I face
the burning waste
without the taste
of water,
cool water.

Keep a'movin', Dan,
he's a devil, not a man
and he spreads the burning sand
with water,
cool water.

Oh Dan, can't ya see
that big green tree
where the water's running free
and it's waiting there for you and me!

Water,
cool water.'

»Cool Water,« by Bob Nolan (1948)
