Cat Stevens "Father and Son" lyrics

Father and Son

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 toMake 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 They 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 andMake this decision alone?)
