Marillion - A Voice from the Past lyrics

A voice from the past Entered my head today Fresh and alive. Full of life, pa**ion 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 Give me 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
