Hard Sun Lyrics - Sinead Oconnor

The city lights flick to display 

bang there goes another day 

The believers in the basement 

they are singing songs about a way 

reborn and regenerate 

but none of this communicates to me 

Up here on the second floor 

I've forgotten what I'm waiting for 

A friend, a brother, mother, woman 

maybe 

but I have all these in the sulphate 

emotionless and considerate 

to me 

And it's a hard sun 

a hard sun that 

's been beating on my back 

it's a hard sun 

that shines it's light on me 

it's a hard sun 

a hard sun that 

's been beating on my back 

it's a hard sun 

that shines it's light on me 

The silver clock chimes off again 

reminds me of my childhood pain 

And the burden that was lifted 

when I made it to the city 

disillusioned and full of hate 

but a member of the mother state and free 

At empty walls I sit and stare 

I sense a feeling in the air 

In the throws of thought I wonder 

can I make it on my own 

but, deep down in my heart I known 

that I ain't never, ever going home 

And it's a hard sun 

a hard sun that 

's been beating on my back 

it's a hard sun 

that shines it's light on me 

it's a hard sun 

a hard sun that 

's been beating on my back 

And it's a hard sun 

that shines it's light on me
