Lyrics Hard Sun - Eddie Vedder

Hard Sun

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
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 again
Once I sought 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
Beatin' on the big people
In the big hard world
