Lyrics
Father and Son Words and Music by Cat Stevens All rights reserved. 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 So take your time, think a lot Think of everything you've got For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not 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 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 All the times that I cried, keepin’ 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
