《The Living Years》歌词

[00:00:00] The Living Years - The Isaacs

[00:00:11] Every generation

[00:00:15] Blames the one before

[00:00:20] And all of their frustrations

[00:00:25] Come beating on your door

[00:00:30] I know that i'm a prisoner

[00:00:32] To all my father held so dear

[00:00:35] I know that i'm a hostage

[00:00:37] To all his hopes and fears

[00:00:39] I just wish i could have told him in the living years

[00:00:50] Crumpled bits of paper

[00:00:54] Filled with imperfect thought

[00:00:59] Stilted conversations

[00:01:04] I'm afraid that's all we've got

[00:01:09] You say you just don't see it

[00:01:11] He says it's perfect sense

[00:01:14] You just can't get agreement

[00:01:16] In this present tense

[00:01:18] We all talk a different language

[00:01:21] Talking in defence

[00:01:28] Say it loud say it clear

[00:01:37] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:01:47] It's too late when we die

[00:01:57] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:02:07] So we open up a quarrel

[00:02:12] Between the present and the past

[00:02:17] We only sacrifice the future

[00:02:22] It's the bitterness that lasts

[00:02:27] So don't yield to the fortunes

[00:02:30] You sometimes see as fate

[00:02:32] It may have a new perspective

[00:02:35] On a different day

[00:02:37] And if you don't give up and don't give in

[00:02:40] You may just be ok

[00:02:47] I wasn't there that morning

[00:02:51] When my father passed away

[00:02:57] I didn't get to tell him

[00:03:01] All the things i had to say

[00:03:07] I think i caught his spirit

[00:03:09] Later that same year

[00:03:11] I'm sure i heard his echo

[00:03:14] In my babys new born tears

[00:03:16] I just wish i could have told him in the living years

[00:03:25] Say it loud

[00:03:28] Say it loud

[00:03:30] Say it clear

[00:03:33] Say it clear

[00:03:35] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:03:45] It's too late

[00:03:48] It's too late

[00:03:50] When we die

[00:03:52] Oh when we die

[00:03:54] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:04:03] Say it say it say it

[00:04:05] Say it loud

[00:04:07] Say it loud

[00:04:09] Say it clear

[00:04:11] Oh say it clear

[00:04:14] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:04:24] It's too late

[00:04:27] It's too late

[00:04:29] When we die

[00:04:31] Oh when we die

[00:04:34] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:04:49] I wish i could have told him

[00:04:54] I wish i could have told him

[00:04:59] I wish i could have told him in the living years
