Opposite Tables Songtext
von John Denver

Father, oh Father, please hear me
My song is a cry of desperation
All of the words I hear
Have lost their meanin′

My life is a well of confusion
Drowned out by the sound
Of the lost and lonely
Only the voice inside
Speaks Your name to me

If they only knew
The things that I know
If they only could see
The things that I see

If they only knew
The things that I know
If they only could see
The things that I see


If they only knew
The things that I know
If they only could see
The things that I see

My brothers at opposite tables
Like fire and water against each other
Only a fool can? t see
The obvious endin'

Are we as ashes to wild wood?
Is life just a fire that
Can only consume us?
Is there no vision of love
To bind us together?

If they only knew
The things that I know
If they only could see
The things that I see

If they only knew
The things that I know
If they only could see
The things that I see


If they only knew
The things that I know
If they only could see
The things that I see
