TuolumneWhen I walk beside herI am a 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 Beating on the big people In the big hard world When she comes to greet me She is mercy at my feet I see her inner 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 rules back again (2x) There's a big A big hard sun Beating on the big people In the big hard world When I go to cross that river She is comfort by my side When I try to understand She just opens up her hands There's a big A big hard sun Beating on the big people In the big hard world Once I stood to lose her When I saw what I had done Bowed down and threw away the hours Of her garden and her sun So I tried to want her I turned to see her weep 40 days and 40 nights And it's still coming down on me (8x) There's a big A big hard sun Beating on the big people In the big hard world |
