Father and Son versuri

Versuri Cat Stevens – Father and Son lyrics

[Chorus: 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

[Verse 1: Father]
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

[Verse 2: 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

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Father & (Son)]
It’s not time to make a change; just relax, take it slowly (Away, away, away)
You’re still young, that’s your fault, there’s so much you have to go through (I know, I have to make this decision)
Find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry (Alone)
Look at me; I am old, but I’m happy (No)

[Verse 3: Son & (Father)]
All the times that I’ve cried, keeping all the things I knew inside (Stay, stay, stay)
It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it (Why must you go)
If they were right, I’d agree; but it’s them they know, not me! (And make this decision, alone)
Now there’s a way, and I know that I have to go away
I know, I have to go
