RICHARD THOMPSON lyrics - Big Sun Falling In The River

She spins me round

And turns me down

And I don't know why

And I don't know why



Did she just refuse me?

Did she just abuse 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

Dashing around me and

Smashing around me



On the pleasure wheel

Pain is all I feel

And she bites her lip
