Father and Son Songtext

Father and Son Songtext
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 and 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
Oh, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
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
I know I have to go
Oh, 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′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
Thank you, thank you
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that′s your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl and 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
Oh, think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
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
I know I have to go
Oh, 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′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
Thank you, thank you
