Opposite Tables

This song was first released on the seasons of the heart album. it is the only album it has been released on.



Father on 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



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
