Father And Son

Father And Son

Cat Stevens

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 become when you've found

Something going on

But take your time -think a lot

Think of everthing you've got

For you will still be here tomorrow

But your dreams may not...

How can I try to explain?

When I do -it turns away again

And 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...

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

All the times, that I've cried

Keeping all the things I knew inside

And 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.
