Opposite Tables

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

If they only could see the things that I see

If they only knew the things that I know (you are only everything that I know)

If they only could see the things that I see

If they only knew the things that I-
