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 sought 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

40 days and 40 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
