Richard Thompson - Why Do You Turn Your Back ? songtekst

Je score:

When you were helpless, before you knew 
He gave you shelter until you grew 
He kept you secret, then he gave you a name 
You drank from a river, 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 been 

Why do you turn your back on your best friend? 
Why do you turn your back on the one who 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, o just to be 
The one who turned back his enemy 

And now you're like 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 the knocking at the door? 

Why do you turn your back on your best friend? 
Why do you turn your back on the one who 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 

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 gifts like a river? 

Why do you turn your back on your best friend? 
Why do you turn your back on the one who 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 
Why do you turn your back on your best friend?
