Eddie Vedder - Hard Sun lyrics

rate me

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 climb down to be set free

She took me in again

CHORUS:

There's a big

A big hard sun

Beating on the big people

In a 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 at me

Once I dug an early grave

To find a better land

She just smiled and laughed at me

And took her bruise back again

(CHORUS 2x)

When I go across that river

She is comfort by my side

When I try to understand

She just opens up her hands

(CHORUS)

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

Forty days and forty nights

And it's still coming down on me

(CHORUS 8x)
