Joseph and Joe Songtext

von John Denver

Joseph and Joe, the priest and the cowboy,
The places they've been to, the spaces they're in.
For a time between storms at the side of a mountain,
With another man's fam'ly, fam'ly and friends

Joseph can give you the keys to the kingdom,
He'll put you in touch with the spirit of man.
Joe loves the desert but lives in the mountains,
His closest companion a left handed man

OooWhere do you go
If you've got no way to get there?
Where do you go?
How do you know?
If you've never never been there?
How do you know?
Tell me how do you know?

Joseph I lost you in some other city,
Out paths are not crossing, we're way out of touch.
Joe, how the seasons have drifted between us,
Or is it your vision, much greater than mine.

Ooo

Take head of the darkness which gathers around us
A fire that consumes us forever to burn
Than look to the sun for our father is with us,
Our mother will teach us what we need to learn.

OooWhere do you go
If you've got no way to get there?
Where do you go?
How do you know?
If you've never never been there?
How do you know?
Tell me how do you know? Tell me where do you go
If you've never never been there?
Where do you go?
Tell me how do you know?
That you've got no way to get there
How do you know?
Tell me how do you know?
