Big Hard Sun - Indio

Details

Description

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
when I climbed down to be set free
she took me in again

There's a big
a big hard sun
beating on the big people
in the big hard world

When she comes to greet me
she is mercy at my feet
and when I stay to pillage her
she just throws it back at me

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
beating on the big people
in the big hard world

There's a big
a big hard sun
beating 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 hands

There's a big
a big hard sun
beating on the big people
in the big hard world

Once I stood to lose her
and I saw what i had done
burned down and threw 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 its still coming down on me

There's a big
a big hard sun
beating on the big people
in the big hard world

There's a big
a big hard sun
beating on the big people
in the big hard world

There's a big
a big hard sun
beating on the big people
in the big hard world
