Lyrics:
When I walk beside herI am the better manWhen I look to leave herI always stagger back againOnce I built an ivory towerSo I could worship from aboveWhen I climb down to be set freeShe took me in again[CHORUS]There's a bigA big hard sunBeating on the big peopleIn the big hard worldWhen she comes to greet meShe is mercy at my feetI see her inner charmShe just throws it back at meOnce I dug an early graveTo find a better landShe just smiled and laughed at meAnd took her rules back again[CHORUS]When I go to cross that riverShe is comfort by my sideWhen I try to understandShe just opens up her hands[CHORUS]Once I stood to lose herAnd I saw what I had doneBowed down and threw away the hoursOf her garden and her sunSo I tried to want herI turned to see her weep40 days and 40 nightsAnd it's still coming down on me[CHORUS]
