《Lay Me Down》歌词

[00:00:14] Every generation

[00:00:15] Blames the one before

[00:00:17] And all of their frustrations

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

[00:00:26] I know that I'm a prisoner

[00:00:29] To all my father held so dear

[00:00:31] I know that I'm a hostage

[00:00:36] To all his hopes and fears

[00:00:40] I just wish I could have told him in the living years

[00:00:50] Crumpled bits of paper

[00:00:57] Filled with imperfect thoughts

[00:01:01] Stilted conversations

[00:01:02] I'm afraid that's all we've got

[00:01:12] You say you just don't see it

[00:01:15] He says it's perfect sense

[00:01:17] You just can't get agreement

[00:01:21] In this present tense

[00:01:23] We all talk a different language

[00:01:36] Talkin' in defense

[00:01:38] Say it loud say it clear

[00:01:39] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:01:46] It's too late when we die

[00:01:49] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:01:57] So we open up a quarrel

[00:01:59] Between the present and the past

[00:02:06] We only sacrifice the future

[00:02:08] It's the bitterness that lasts

[00:02:11] So don't yield to the fortunes

[00:02:19] You sometimes see as fate

[00:02:22] It may have a new perspective

[00:02:29] On a different date

[00:02:33] And if you don't give up and don't give in

[00:02:38] You may just be ok

[00:02:44] Say it loud say it clear

[00:02:49] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:02:51] It's too late when we die

[00:02:52] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:02:54] I wasn't there that morning

[00:02:55] 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

[00:03:04] I think I caught his spirit

[00:03:07] Later that same year

[00:03:16] I'm sure I heard his echo

[00:03:17] In my baby's new born tears

[00:03:22] I just wish I could have told him in the living years

[00:03:28] Say it loud say it clear

[00:03:29] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:03:38] It's too late when we die

[00:03:40] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:03:45] Say it loud say it clear

[00:03:48] Say it loud

[00:03:52] Don't give up

[00:03:53] Don't give in

[00:03:54] And don't know what you can do next
