Father and Son - Cat Stevens

 

Strophe 1 - Father) 

It´s not time to ma a chenge, just relax and take it easy 

You´re still young that´s your fault, there´s so much you have to know 

Fing 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´re got 

For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

 

Strophe 2 - Son) 

How can I try to explain cause 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 

 

Strophe 3 - Father) 

It´s not time to make a change, just sit down and 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 

 

Strophe 4 - Son) 

All the times that I´ve cried, keeping all the ghings 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
