Shades Of The Sun

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

I stood down in the shade of the sun
