| | The Living Years Lyrics Artist(Band):Mike & The Mechanics
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 Talkin' 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 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 date 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 Say it loud, say it clear Say it loud Don't give up Don't give in And don't know what you can do next If you find some error in The Living Years Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to Robert Mohs RPM_1944@worldnet.att.net for submitting the lyrics. Review about The Living Years Too true | Reviewer: L Kay | 1/14/2008 My Dad died last week. Luckily he knew I loved him, and I knew he loved me. But I have two sisters who aren't speaking and life is SO too short. I really like what others have said- "let go of the anger; you can't change anyone else but you can change yourself" "My family seems to think that everyone in it is disposable." Thanks for that, folks. I WILL send this to my sisters, with your comments. Bless you all, and bless Mike Rutherford for such a gem. ITS TOO LATE | Reviewer: Jesse | 11/27/2007 My father and mother separated when I was pretty young. In my naive mind, I used to believe they would get together again and we would be a family once more. I passed up so many visits, he died when I was in second grade forty years ago. So many things I need to say but its too late for me. He needed to know that I loved him. Call your mom, hug your kids, let go of the anger; you can't change anyone else but you can change yourself. A truer song was never sung. Broken Families | Reviewer: Michelle Scheeland | 10/15/2007 My family seems to think that everyone in it is disposable. This year for xmas, I'm sending all of the members in it who don't get along this song. My mother has one kidney left, and my brothers don't treat her well. None of them treat eachother particularly well. I hope this song helps bring them together and helps them to realize that they don't have forever to mend things with her so it's best to do it now. Thank you love this song-- makes me tear up | Reviewer: Rk | 9/8/2007 I have an uncle and a cousin who dont talk and every time I hear this song, I think of my uncle who is getting older every day. I always think I should send a copy to my cousin, but he is so stubborn he probably woudlnt get it Review the song The Living Years The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
