《The Living Years》歌词

[00:00:00] The Living Years - Mike & The Mechanics

[00:00:29] Every generation

[00:00:34] Blames the one before

[00:00:39] And all of their frustrations

[00:00:44] Come beating on your door

[00:00:49] I know that I'm a prisoner

[00:00:50] To all my Father held so dear

[00:00:53] I know that I'm a hostage

[00:00:56] To all his hopes and fears

[00:00:58] I just wish I could have told

[00:01:00] Him in the living years

[00:01:08] Crumpled bits of paper

[00:01:13] Filled with imperfect thought

[00:01:18] Stilted conversations

[00:01:22] I'm afraid that's all we've got

[00:01:28] You say you just don't see it

[00:01:30] He says it's perfect sense

[00:01:33] You just can't get agreement

[00:01:35] In this present tense

[00:01:37] We all talk a different language

[00:01:40] Talking in defence

[00:01:46] Say it loud Say loud

[00:01:51] Say it clear say clear

[00:01:56] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:02:06] It's too late It's too late

[00:02:11] When we die when we die

[00:02:16] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:02:26] So we open up a quarrel

[00:02:31] Between the present and the past

[00:02:36] We only sacrifice the future

[00:02:41] It's the bitterness that lasts

[00:02:46] So Don't yield to the fortunes

[00:02:49] You sometimes see as fate

[00:02:51] It may have a new perspective

[00:02:54] On a different day

[00:02:56] And if you don't give up

[00:02:57] And don't give in

[00:02:58] You may just be O K

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

[00:03:15] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:03:28] It's too late when we die when we die

[00:03:34] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:03:45] I wasn't there that morning

[00:03:50] When my Father passed away

[00:03:55] I didn't get to tell him

[00:03:59] All the things I had to say

[00:04:05] I think I caught his spirit

[00:04:07] Later that same year

[00:04:10] I'm sure I heard his echo

[00:04:11] In my baby's new born tears

[00:04:14] I just wish I could have told

[00:04:16] Him in the living years

[00:04:23] Say it loud say it clear say it clear

[00:04:33] You can listen as well as you hear

[00:04:43] It's too late It's too late

[00:04:48] When we die It's too late

[00:04:50] When we die

[00:04:53] To admit we don't see eye to eye

[00:05:02] Say it Say it Say it loud Say loud

[00:05:07] Say it clear come on say clear

[00:05:12] Say it loud say it clear

[00:05:16] Say it clear
