Thompson Richard Linda - Why Do You Turn Your Back lyrics

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
