I always get the image of a man at a bar, drinking water (Beer). The term water is used instead because it's become just another drink to him. Then I get the feeling he's asking will there be enough to get him by for his reckoning.
"Will there be enough water,
When my ship comes in?
And when I set sail,
Will there be enough wind?"
After all this he's asking if it really matters what he's done and that last verse for cool water and cool wind is him starting over with real water and leaving the bar.
"Just because you caught me,
Does that make it a sin?

Cool water And the cool wind ."
