Songtext zu 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 thoughts,
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 OK.
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.
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.
Say it loud, say it clear,
Don't give up, don't give in...
