Lyrics

Cool night Water

(Original recording 1987)


Music by Phil Carmen, Lyrics by Simon D. Sanders



Another scorching summer’s day
Melting all the tarmac streets away
Beneath my feet the heat is getting stronger

No mercy from the burning sun
Beads of perspiration on my face
Humidity the air’s so heavy
Cool night water

So darn hot the sky’s on fire
Too darn hot to feel desire
Too darn hot the birds won’t sing
I wish the dusk would hurry to my rescue..
Cool night water

Lazy like a winter fly,
I hear the church bell ring the hour
A summer storm would certainly
Certainly relieve me

Taking one more freezing shower
Trying to keep my mind alive
Some ice cold Rushan Tee
For Inspiration

Cool night water

So darn hot the sky’s on fire
Too darn hot to feel desire
Too darn hot the birds won’t sing
Too darn hot for anything
I wish I could, I wish that I could swim in cool night water
In cool night water..



Summer 1986
