I have walked a thousand miles
I have worked as fast as I can
And I have raised my precious child
To be a woman
I have walked up and down
I have wandered from place to place
And I have raised my weary hand
To my face
But I would never
Turn my back
On your love
Is there anybody there who knows me?
Is there anybody there who knows me now?
That I will be home soon
But I would never
Turn my back
On your love
When the sun is going down
There are colors against the sky
And I have seen my hometown
In your eyes
But I would never
Turn my back
Yeah, I'm learning
To face the facts
Yeah, I'd never
Turn my back
On your love, oooh
Your love, your love
Your love, your love
No, I'd never
Turn my back
On your love, your love
Your love, your love
