I stood down in the shade of the sun To look for some better days A better day had not yet dawned Tried to cross where the water was wide Thought I saw Eden across on the other side
Oh Lord Lord don't you hear me Oh Lord Lord can't you hear me
Oh Lord Lord don't you hear me
I stood down in the shade of the sun To look for my woman My woman she was gone Kept a hammering away at the gate I kept a knocking but I was far too late
Woman Woman don't you hear me Woman Woman don't you hear me
