Текст (слова) песни: Mike And The Mechanics - The Living Years
Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations Come beating on 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
Crumpled bits of paper Filled with imperfect thought 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 get agreement In this present tense We all talk a different language Talking in defence
Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It`s too late when we die To admit we don`t see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel Between the present and the past We only sacrifice the future It`s the bitterness that lasts
So Don`t yield to the fortunes You sometimes see as fate It may have a new perspective On a different day And if you don`t give up, and don`t give in You may just be O.K.
Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It`s too late 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
Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It`s too late when we die To admit we don`t see eye to eye
