This was one of the first songs Steven Page and Ed Robertson ever wrote together, appearing on 1989’s “Buck Naked” tape, but did not appear on an official release until 1994.
[Verse 1]
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?
[Hook]
Where does the time go
When it's not around here?
[Verse 2]
Here we stand at the edge of the drive
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
[Hook]x2
[Verse 3]
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
Great Provider was written by Jim Creeggan & Ed Robertson & Steven Page.
Great Provider was produced by Ben Mink.
Barenaked Ladies released Great Provider on Tue Aug 16 1994.
