Marillion - A Voice From The Past Lyrics

A voice from the past
Entered my head today
Fresh and alive

Full of life, passion and pain
A voice now past
A beautiful soul
Gone, gone, gone

Speaking clearly
Clearer than the living
Talking perfect sense
Used to not being understood
While talking perfect sense to the
Next generation

Have we caught up yet?
Is it time? I think it is
Enough is enough
Enough is enough

A voice from the past
Entered my head today
Tiny child sighed in my ear
Giving up breathing in

Over and out
Over and out
Taken by bad luck
And the ill fortune
Of geography

Common cold
Dirty water, HIV
Common apathy
Common crime
Perfect nonsense to the next
Generation

Dead yet alive, dead yet alive
Gone but shouting anger
Gone but talking perfect sense

Have we caught up yet?
Is it time? Well, I say it is
I say it is
Deaf and dumbed down
Enough is enough

Give me a smile, hold out your hand
I don't want your money
I don't want your land
Gimme a smile, hold out your hand

I don't want your money
I don't want your land
I want you to wake up and do
Something strange
I want you to listen

I want you to feel
Someone else's pain
Someone else's pain
Someone else's pain
Someone else's pain

Deaf and dumbed down
Deaf and dumbed down

A tap with clean water
