Rutherford Mike - The Living Years слова песни
Every generation blames the one beforeAnd all of their frustrationsCome beating on your doorI know that I`m a prisonerTo all my father held so dearI know that I`m a hostageTo all his hopes and fearsI just wish I could have told himIn the living yearsMore crumpled bits of paperFilled with imperfect thoughtStilted conversationsI`m afraid that`s all we`ve gotYou say you just don`t see itHe says it`s perfect senseYou just can`t get agreementIn this present tenseWe all talk a different languageTalking in defenceCHORUSSay it loudSay it clearYou can listen as well as you hearIt`s too late when we dieTo admit we don`t see eye to eyeSo we open up a quarrelBetween the present and the pastWe only sacrifice the futureIt`s the bitterness that lastsSo don`t yield to the fortunesYou sometimes see as fateIt may have a new perspectiveOn a different dayAnd if you don`t give upAnd don`t give inYou may just be O.K.CHORUSI wasn`t there that morningWhen my father passed awayI didn`t get to tell himAll the things I had to sayI think I caught his spiritLater that same yearI`m sure I heard his echoIn my baby`s new born tearsI just wish I could have told himIn the living yearsCHORUS===========================================================================
