Píseň: Opposite Tables

Interpret:
John Denver
Album:
Seasons Of The Heart
Father, oh, Father please hear me 
 My song is a cry of desperation 
 All of the words I hear 
 Have lost their meaning 
 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 ending 
 Are we as ashes to wildwood 
 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
