The Living Years Lyrics - Still Groovin - Paul Carrack

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 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 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 O.K. 

 

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 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
