Cool Water (1990 Version)

[Verse 1]
From the bottom of the well, I feel pools of cool water
Moss-covered stones and cracks in the mortar
Found a little coin from a wish that I'd forgotten
Dried it on my shirttail, put it back in my pocket, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Never tell your wishes or you'll dry up the well
If you can keep a secret, I've got one to tell

[Chorus]
Waiting for cool water
To come and fill this well
Cool water, my secrets to tell
My secrets to tell

[Verse 2]
Scaled upon the wall, but my grip was unsteady
If I were to fall, there was no water thеre to catch me
Reachеd for the frayed rope, it fell broken in my hand
I guess I'm doomed to sit here with my feet buried in the sand

[Chorus]
And hope for cool water
To come and fill this well
Cool water, my secrets to tell
My secrets to tell

[Bridge]
Keeping my eyes fixed on these cloudy skies
Quenching my sun-cracked lips just like tears from your eyes
Just like tears from your, from your eyes
Just like tears from your, from your eyes
From your eyes
From your eyes

[Chorus]
Waiting for cool water
To come and fill this well
Cool water, my secrets to tell
My secrets to tell
My secrets to tell
My secrets to tell
