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,
but 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.

Background Son:
Away! Away! Away!
I know I have to make this decision...
alone
Now...

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.

Background Father:
Stay! Stay! Stay!
Why must you go and make this decision...
alone?
