Barenaked Ladies - Great Provider Lyrics
You and I have been through this before
I owe you my whole life, nothing more
I never said that I liked you the most
You're my father, I'm your son, who's the Holy Ghost?
Where does the time go when it's not around here?
I'm just waiting for my ride to arrive
I wait to see if you've any last words
We pulled away, I called your name, I don't think you heard.
Where does the time go when it's not around here?
I don't know
Where does the time go when it's not around here?
You and I never shared all that much
When I leave I'll be all right, I'll keep in touch
As your road narrows, so mine grows wider
As I leave I turn and wave to the Great Provider
I don't know
Where does the time go when it's not around here?

A true masterpiece. BNL are still fantastic and love the way they're moving forward, but these oldies are pure magic, pure mystic.
underrated song
This song underscores the relationship between father and son... The Rhodes piano strokes at the heartstrings driving home it's poignant message.
I can't thank you enough for posting this song. I lost my father to lung cancer a year before this was released. During that time, I felt so lonely, emotionally raw, and was just coasting through life. My head was so cloudy and my heart was empty. I thought that no one understood the bond that he and I shared. We were very close as we went through a lot in dealing with a family issue that inevitably, we fought and lost. But this song; this resonates with me what he and I had and to hear Ed and Steve sing it brought tears to my eyes. Ed and Steve got it; they understood what bond you develop and nurture with your children.
It's been 20 years since my father passed and to this day, this song still is my calling card to him. Hope to hear this live again. Thanks so much for posting.
