《The Living Years (LP版)》歌词

[00:03:33] The Living Years (LP Version) - Big Daddy

[00:03:33] Every generation

[00:03:33] Blames the one before

[00:03:33] And all of their frustrations

[00:03:33] Come beating on your door

[00:03:33] I know that I'm a prisoner

[00:03:33] To all my Father held so dear

[00:03:33] I know that I'm a hostage

[00:03:33] To all his hopes and fears

[00:03:33] I just wish I could have told him in the living years

[00:03:33] Crumpled bits of paper

[00:03:33] Filled with imperfect thought

[00:03:33] Stilted conversations

[00:03:33] I'm afraid that's all we've got

[00:03:33] You say you just don't see it

[00:03:33] He says it's perfect sense

[00:03:33] You just can't get agreement

[00:03:33] In this present tense

[00:03:33] We all talk a different language

[00:03:33] Talking in defense

[00:03:33] Say it loud, say it clear

[00:03:33] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:03:33] It's too late when we die

[00:03:33] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:03:33] So we open up a quarrel

[00:03:33] Between the present and the past

[00:03:33] We only sacrifice the future

[00:03:33] It's the bitterness that lasts

[00:03:33] So don't yield to the fortunes

[00:03:33] You sometimes see as fate

[00:03:33] It may have a new perspective

[00:03:33] On a different date

[00:03:33] And if you don't give up, and don't give in

[00:03:33] You may just be O.K.

[00:03:33] Say it loud, say it clear

[00:03:33] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:03:33] It's too late when we die

[00:03:33] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:03:33] I wasn't there that morning

[00:03:33] When my Father passed away

[00:03:33] I didn't get to tell him

[00:03:33] All the things I had to say

[00:03:33] I think I caught his spirit

[00:03:33] Later that same year

[00:03:33] I'm sure I heard his echo

[00:03:33] In my baby's new born tears

[00:03:33] I just wish I could have told him in the living years

[00:03:33] Say it loud, say it clear

[00:03:33] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:03:33] It's too late when we die

[00:03:33] To admit we don't see eye to eye
