Cat Stevens - Father And Son lyrics

Your rating:

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?)
