Father And Son Lyrics by Cat Stevens

Father And Son Lyrics


    Father
    It's not time to make a change,
    Just relax, take it easy.
    You're still young, that's your fault,
    There's so much you have to know.
    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,
    Why, think of everything you've got.
    For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

    Son
    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.

    Father
    It's not time to make a change,
    Just sit down, take it slowly.
    You're still young, that's your fault,
    There's so much you have to go through.
    Find a girl, settle down,
    If you want you can marry.
    Look at me, i am old, but i'm happy.
    (son-- away away away, i know i have to
    Make this decision alone - no)
    Son
    All the times that i cried, keeping 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 you know not me.
    Now there's a way and i know that i have to go away.
    I know i have to go.
    (father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
    Make this decision alone?)
