Hard Sun - Eddie Vedder Tune down 1/2 step 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 there's a big A big hard sun beaten on the big people in the 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 smile and laughed at me And took her bruise back again there's a big A big hard sun beaten on the big people in the big hard world (Repeat x2) 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 40 days and 40 nights and it's still coming down on me there's a big A big hard sun beaten on the big people in the big hard world (Repeat and Fade)
