Thompson Richard Linda Sunnyvista Why Do You Turn Your Back? When you were helpless before you knew He gave you shelter until you grew He kept you secret and he gave you a name You drank from a river and you slept in the hay You grew up running into the wind You grew up fighting a war you'd never win Against a foe you'd never seen Pretending to be what you'd never meant (Chorus) Why do you turn your back on your best friend? Why do you turn your back on the one who loves you, loves you? Why do you turn your back on your best friend? The only one who ever really cared The only one who ever really cared When you were burning, the sky would pour When you were drowning, he threw you ashore He saved your life, oh, just to be The one who turned back his enemy And now you're lying, a bolted door No one can change the lock, your palace is secure You're the king and the prisoner But don't you hear their knocking at the door? (Chorus) And now you falter, afraid to live And now you hold back, afraid to be the giver And do you ever think Of the friend who gave you goods like a river? (Chorus) The only one who ever really cared The only one who ever really cared |
