Father And Son

Cat Stevens


(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 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.
 
(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)
All the times that I've 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,
They know not me, now there's a way,
And I know that I have to go away,
I know I have to go.
