Indio - Hard Sun lyrics
1989

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
And 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
(mmm) In the big hard world

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

And when I go to cross that river
She is comfort by my side
When I try to understand
She just opens up her hands

(oh no) There's a big (there's a big)
A big hard sun (a big hard sun)
Beating on the big people (on the people)
In the big hard world (it's a hard world, yes it is)

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 (oh, yes it is)

There's a big (a big)
A big hard sun (big hard sun)
Beating on the big people (mmm)
In the big hard world

There's a big (a big)
A big hard sun (big hard sun)
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world

There's a big (a big)
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people (on the people)
In the big hard world

{fading out}

There's a big (there's a big)
A big hard sun (big hard sun)
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world (mm hmmm)

There's a big (it's a hard world)
A big hard sun (big hard sun)
Beating on the big people (on the big people)
In the big hard world

There's a big (there's a big)
A big hard sun (big hard sun)
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world
