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 worshop 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)
