The Living Years<\/strong>
by Mike and the Mechanics<\/p>\n

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
