FATHER
AND SON
(Cat Stevens)
It's not time to make a change
Just relax/sitdown take it easy/slowly
You're still young and that's your fault
There's so much you have to know/go through.
.
Find a girl settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me I am old but I'm happy
.
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm, when you've found
Something going on.
.
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
.
How can I try to explain?
When I do he turns away again
It's always been the same same old story.
.
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know I have to go
.
(Repeat 1st stanza)
.
All the times that I've cried
Keepin' all the things I knew inside
It's hard but it's harder to ignore it
.
If they were right I'd agree
But it's them they know not me
Now there's a way
And I know I have to go away
.
