lirik lagu straight no chaser – the living years
every generation
blames the one before
and all of their frustrations
come beating at 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
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
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 defense
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 p-ssed 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
and 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
