Hard Sun

When I walk beside her I am the better man When I look to leave her I always stagger back again Once I built an ivory tower So I could worship from above And when I climbed down to be set free She took me in again There's a big A big hard sun Beaten on the big people In the big hard world When she comes to greet me She is mercy at my feet When I see her pin her charm She just throws it back again Once I dug an early grave To find a better land She just smiled and laughed at me And took her blues back again There's a big A big hard sun Beaten on the big people In the big hard world There's a big A big hard sun Beaten on the big people In the big hard world When I go to cross that river She is comfort by my side When I try to understand She just opens up her eyes There's a big A big hard sun Beaten on the big people In the big hard world Once I stood to lose her When I saw what I had done Bound down and flew away the hours Of her garden and her sun So I tried to warn her I'll turn to see her weep Forty days and forty nights And it's still coming down on me There's a big A big hard sun Beaten on the big people In the big hard world There's a big A big hard sun Beaten on the big people In the big hard world There's a big A big hard sun Beaten on the big people In the big hard world There's a big A big hard sun Beaten on the big people In the big hard world
