Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Big Sun Falling In The River

Well, she spins me round

And she turns me down

And I don't know why

And I don't know why

Did she just refuse me?

Did she just accuse me?

And I don't know why

And I don't know why

She's always bugging me, hugging me

Faking me, shaking me

Haunting me, taunting me

Big sun falling in the river

Big sky shining in the water

Big love dying like the dying day

Big sun falling in the river

Big sky shining in the water

We're done but she don't

Have the nerve to say

On the bridge of sighs

She close her eyes

And she looks away

And she looks away

As a compromise

She softly lies

And she looks away

And she looks away

The world is crashing around me

And flashing around me

And smashing around me

Big sun falling in the river

Big sky shining in the water

Big love dying like the dying day

Big sun falling in the river

Big sky shining in the water

We're done but she don't

Have the nerve to say

On the pleasure wheel

Pain is all I feel

And she bites her lip

And she bites her lip

She's always bugging me, hugging me

Faking me, shaking me

Haunting me, taunting me

Big sun falling in the river

Big sky shining in the water

Big love dying like the dying day

Big sun falling in the river

Big sky shining in the water

We're done but she don't

Have the nerve to say

Big sun falling in the river

Big sky shining in the water
