Opposite Tables Lyrics - 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?
