When I walk beside her I am a 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 Chorus: There’s a big, a big hard sun Beatin’ on the big people In the big hard world When she comes to greet me She is mercy at my feet 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 And when I go to cross that river She is comfort by my side When I try to understand She just opens up her eyes Once I stood to lose her When 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 And turned to see her weep Forty days and forty nights And it’s still coming down on me
