The Living Years - 2014 Remastered Lyrics

[00:29.47] Every generation
[00:34.56] Blames the one before
[00:39.35] And all of their frustrations
[00:43.47] Come beating on your door
[00:48.81] I know that I'm a prisoner
[00:51.17] To all my father held so dear
[00:53.48] I know that I'm a hostage
[00:55.56] To all his hopes and fears
[00:58.65] I just wish I could have told him in the living years
[01:08.03] Oh, crumpled bits of paper
[01:12.84] Filled with imperfect thought
[01:18.00] Stilted conversations
[01:22.58] I'm afraid that's all we've got
[01:27.55] You say you just don't see it
[01:30.09] He says it's perfect sense
[01:32.84] You just can't get agreement
[01:35.29] In this present tense
[01:37.22] We all talk a different language
[01:40.46] Talking in defense
[01:46.56] (Say it loud) Say it loud (Say it clear) oh, say it clear
[01:56.47] (You can listen as well as you hear)
[02:05.93] (It's too late) It's too late (when we die) Oh, when we die
[02:16.05] (To admit we don't see eye to eye)
[02:26.73] So we open up a quarrel
[02:31.32] Between the present and the past
[02:36.34] We only sacrifice the future
[02:40.70] It's the bitterness that lasts
[02:45.91] So don't yield to the fortunes
[02:48.72] You sometimes see as fate
[02:51.33] It may have a new perspective
[02:53.63] On a different date
[02:56.10] And if you don't give up, and don't give in
[02:59.29] You may just be O.K.
[03:04.58] So say it, say it, say it loud (Say it loud)
[03:10.16] (Say it clear) Oh, say it clear
[03:14.80] (You can listen as well as you hear)
[03:24.53] Because it's too late (It's too late)
[03:28.34] It's too late (When we die) oh, when we die
[03:34.56] To admit we don't see eye to eye
[03:45.40] I wasn't there that morning
[03:49.99] When my Father passed away
[03:54.71] I didn't get to tell him
[03:59.59] All the things I had to say
[04:05.17] Think I caught his spirit
[04:07.34] Later that same year
[04:09.90] I'm sure I heard his echo
[04:12.50] In my baby's new born tears
[04:14.93] I just wish I could have told him in the living years
[04:22.40] So say it, say it, say it loud (Say it loud)
[04:28.46] (Say it clear) Oh, say it clear
[04:33.50] (You can listen as well as you hear)
[04:42.77] (It's too late) It's too late
[04:48.10] (When we die) It's too late when we die
[04:52.74] (To admit we don't see eye to eye)
[05:01.90] Hey, so say it, say it, say it loud (Say it loud)
[05:07.71] Say it loud (Say it clear) Oh no, say it clear
[05:14.50]
