Big Hard Sun

When I walk beside herI am the better manWhen I look to leave herI always stagger back again
Once I built an ivory towerSo I could worship from aboveWhen I climb down to be set freeShe took me in again
There’s a bigA big hard sunBeating on the big peopleIn a big hard world
When she comes to greet meShe is mercy at my feetAnd I, I see her inner charmShe just throws it back at me
Once I dug an early graveTo find a better landShe just smiled and laughed at meAnd took her rules back again
There’s a bigA big hard sunBeating on the big peopleIn a big hard world
Oh, there’s a bigA big hard sunBeating on the big peopleIn a big hard world
When I go to cross that riverShe is comfort by my sideWhen I try to understandShe just opens up her hands
There’s a bigA big hard sunBeating on the big peopleIn a big hard world
Once I stood to lose herWhen I saw what I had doneBowed down and threw away the hoursOf her garden and her sun
So I tried to warn herI turned to see her weepForty days and forty nightsAnd it's still coming down on me

There’s a bigA big hard sunBeating on the big peopleIn a big hard world
