Shade of the Sun Lyrics by Mark Lanegan, Duke Garwood

Black Pudding

2013

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
Oh Lord
Lord, don't you hear me?
Oh Lord
Lord, can't you hear me?
[Verse 2]
I stood down in the shade of the sun
To look for my woman
My woman she was gone
Kept hammering away at the gate
I kept a knocking, but I was far too late
[Chorus 2]
Woman
Woman, don't you hear me?
Woman
Woman, don't you hear me?
[Coda]
I stood down in the shade of the sun
