专辑 | You And Me |
[00:20.06] | Every generation |
[00:24.50] | Blames the one before |
[00:26.24] | |
[00:29.37] | And all of their frustrations |
[00:31.36] | |
[00:34.06] | Come beating on your door |
[00:36.11] | |
[00:39.13] | I know that I'm a prisoner |
[00:41.38] | To all my Father held so dear |
[00:43.94] | I know that I'm a hostage |
[00:45.75] | To all his hopes and fears |
[00:48.81] | I just wish I could have told him |
[00:51.44] | In the living years |
[00:54.49] | |
[00:59.00] | Crumpled bits of paper |
[01:00.49] | |
[01:03.38] | Filled with imperfect thoughts |
[01:05.11] | |
[01:08.62] | Stilted conversations |
[01:09.92] | |
[01:13.06] | I'm afraid that's all we've got |
[01:15.86] | |
[01:18.50] | You say you just don't see it |
[01:21.06] | He says it's perfect sense |
[01:22.80] | |
[01:23.38] | You just can't get agreement |
[01:25.68] | In this present tense |
[01:27.18] | |
[01:27.75] | We all talk a different language |
[01:29.86] | |
[01:30.62] | Talkin' in defense |
[01:32.68] | |
[01:39.63] | Say it loud say it clear |
[01:46.00] | |
[01:46.76] | (You can listen) as well as you hear |
[01:53.25] | |
[01:56.82] | It's too late when we die |
[02:05.81] | |
[02:06.32] | (To admit) we don't see eye to eye |
[02:12.37] | |
[02:16.70] | So we open up a quarrel |
[02:18.93] | |
[02:21.45] | Between the present and the past |
[02:23.62] | |
[02:26.13] | We only sacrifice the future |
[02:28.49] | |
[02:31.51] | It's the bitterness that lasts |
[02:33.62] | |
[02:36.82] | So don't yield to the fortunes |
[02:39.20] | You sometimes see as fate |
[02:41.51] | It may have a new perspective |
[02:43.56] | |
[02:44.26] | On a different date |
[02:45.68] | |
[02:46.26] | And if you don't give up |
[02:47.95] | And don't give in |
[02:49.20] | You may just be O K |
[02:51.81] | |
[02:54.43] | Say it loud say it clear |
[03:04.80] | |
[03:05.93] | (You can listen) as well as you hear |
[03:11.73] | |
[03:14.62] | Because it's too late when we die |
[03:23.86] | |
[03:24.69] | (To admit) we don't see eye to eye |
[03:31.30] | |
[03:35.75] | I wasn't there that morning |
[03:37.55] | |
[03:40.06] | When my Father passed away |
[03:42.12] | |
[03:45.38] | I didn't get to tell him |
[03:47.42] | |
[03:49.81] | All the things I had to say |
[03:52.49] | |
[03:55.06] | I think I caught his spirit |
[03:57.56] | Later that same year |
[03:60.00] | I'm sure I heard his echo |
[04:02.75] | In my baby's new born tears |
[04:04.75] | I just wish I could have told him |
[04:07.62] | In the living years |
[04:12.82] | So say it say it say it loud |
[04:15.44] | |
[04:21.13] | Say it clear |
[04:22.68] | |
[04:23.51] | (You can listen) as well as you hear |

[04:42.55] | |
