《The Living Years》歌词

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

[00:00:20] Every generation

[00:00:24] Blames the one before

[00:00:29] And all of their frustrations

[00:00:34] Come beating on your door

[00:00:39] I know that I'm a prisoner

[00:00:41] To all my father held so dear

[00:00:43] I know that I'm a hostage

[00:00:45] To all his hopes and fears

[00:00:48] I just wish I could have told him

[00:00:51] In the living years

[00:00:57] Crumpled bits of paper

[00:01:02] Filled with imperfect thought

[00:01:07] Stilted conversations

[00:01:12] I'm afraid that's all we've got

[00:01:17] You say you just don't see it

[00:01:19] He says it's perfect sense

[00:01:22] You just can't get agreement

[00:01:24] In this present tense

[00:01:26] We all talk a different language

[00:01:29] Talking in defense

[00:01:35] Say it loud say it clear

[00:01:45] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:01:54] It's too late when we die

[00:02:04] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:02:14] So we open up a quarrel

[00:02:19] Between the present and the past

[00:02:24] We only sacrifice the future

[00:02:28] And it's the bitterness that lasts

[00:02:34] So don't yield to the fortunes

[00:02:36] You sometimes see as fate

[00:02:38] It may have a new perspective

[00:02:41] On a different day

[00:02:43] And if you don't give up and don't give in

[00:02:46] You may just be okay

[00:02:52] Say it loud say it clear

[00:03:02] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:03:11] It's too late when we die

[00:03:21] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:03:32] I wasn't there that morning

[00:03:36] When my father passed away

[00:03:41] I didn't get to tell him

[00:03:45] All the things I had to say

[00:03:51] I think I caught his spirit

[00:03:53] Later that same year

[00:03:55] I'm sure I heard his echo

[00:03:57] In my baby's new born tears

[00:04:00] I just wish I could have told him

[00:04:03] In the living years

[00:04:09] Say it loud say it clear

[00:04:19] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:04:28] It's too late when we die

[00:04:37] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:04:48] Say it loud say it clear

[00:04:57] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:05:06] It's too late when we die

[00:05:17] We don't see eye to eye

[00:05:26] Say it loud say it clear

[00:05:34] You can listen as well as you hear
