The Living Years - The Isaacs[00:00:00]
Every generation[00:00:11]
Blames the one before[00:00:15]
And all of their frustrations[00:00:20]
Come beating on your door[00:00:25]
I know that i'm a prisoner[00:00:30]
To all my father held so dear[00:00:32]
I know that i'm a hostage[00:00:35]
To all his hopes and fears[00:00:37]
I just wish i could have told him in the living years[00:00:39]
Crumpled bits of paper[00:00:50]
Filled with imperfect thought[00:00:54]
Stilted conversations[00:00:59]
I'm afraid that's all we've got[00:01:04]
You say you just don't see it[00:01:09]
He says it's perfect sense[00:01:11]
You just can't get agreement[00:01:14]
In this present tense[00:01:16]
We all talk a different language[00:01:18]
Talking in defence[00:01:21]
Say it loud say it clear[00:01:28]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:01:37]
It's too late when we die[00:01:47]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:01:57]
So we open up a quarrel[00:02:07]
Between the present and the past[00:02:12]
We only sacrifice the future[00:02:17]
It's the bitterness that lasts[00:02:22]
So don't yield to the fortunes[00:02:27]
You sometimes see as fate[00:02:30]
It may have a new perspective[00:02:32]
On a different day[00:02:35]
And if you don't give up and don't give in[00:02:37]
You may just be ok[00:02:40]
I wasn't there that morning[00:02:47]
When my father passed away[00:02:51]
I didn't get to tell him[00:02:57]
All the things i had to say[00:03:01]
I think i caught his spirit[00:03:07]
Later that same year[00:03:09]
I'm sure i heard his echo[00:03:11]
In my babys new born tears[00:03:14]
I just wish i could have told him in the living years[00:03:16]
Say it loud[00:03:25]
Say it loud[00:03:28]
Say it clear[00:03:30]
Say it clear[00:03:33]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:03:35]
It's too late[00:03:45]
It's too late[00:03:48]
When we die[00:03:50]
Oh when we die[00:03:52]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:03:54]
Say it say it say it[00:04:03]
Say it loud[00:04:05]
Say it loud[00:04:07]
Say it clear[00:04:09]
Oh say it clear[00:04:11]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:04:14]
It's too late[00:04:24]
It's too late[00:04:27]
When we die[00:04:29]
Oh when we die[00:04:31]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:04:34]
I wish i could have told him[00:04:49]
I wish i could have told him[00:04:54]
I wish i could have told him in the living years[00:04:59]
