When I walk beside her
I am the better man
When I look to leave her
I always atagger back again
Once I built an Ivory tower
So I could worship from above
When I climbed down to be set free
She took me in again
When she comes to greet me
She is mercy at my feet
When i see her (bitter) 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
When I go to cross that river
She is comfort by my side
When I try to understand
She just opens up her hands
Once I stood to lose her
When I saw what I had done
Bound down and threw away the hours
of her garden and her sun
So I tried to warm her
I turned to see her weep
Forty days and forty nights
And it´s still coming down on me
CHORUS:
There´s a big
a big hard sun
Beating on the big people
in the big hard world.
