the living years (album version)

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating at your door
I know that I'm a prisoner to all my father held so dear
I know that I 'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years
(Say it loud) Say it loud
(say it clear) Would you say it clear
(You can listen) as well as you hear
(It's too late) It's too late It's too late
(when we die) It's too late when we die
( To admit) we don't see eye to eye
Oh Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thoughts
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't find agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talkin' in defense
(Say it loud) Say it loud
(say it clear) Say it clear now
(You can listen) You can listen as well as you hear
(It's too late) It's too late now It's too late
(when we die) oh when we die
(To admit) we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo in my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years
So say it say it say it loud
(Say it loud Say it loud)
(say it clear) Say it say it clear
(You can listen) as well as you hear
(It's too late) It's too late
(when we die) It's too late when we die
(To admit) we don 't see eyetoe也<比如>
