When I walk beside her
I am the better man
When I look to leave her
I alway s stagger back again
Once I built an Ivory tower
so I could worship from above
When I climb down to be set free
she too k me in again
there's a big
A big hard su n
beaten on the big people
in the big ha rd world
When she comes to greet me
She is mercy at my feet
When I see her pin her charm
She jus t throws it back at me
Once I dug an early grave
To find a better land
She just smile and laughed at me
And too k her bruise back again
there's a big
A big hard su n
beaten on the big people
in the big ha rd world (x2)
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 turned to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
and it' s still coming down on me
there's a big
A big hard su n
beaten on the big people
in the big ha rd world
