Father and Son

I was talking yesterday in the room about songs by Cat Stevens and there is one particular song he did which always haunts me; probably because of the somewhat stormy relationship we had at times.

It means something to me anyway:



(Father)
Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything youve 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.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

(Father)
Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres 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 Im happy.
(son-- away away away, I know I have to Make this decision alone - no)


(Son)
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and Make this decision alone? )

Great song Deli although I prefer this version,
probably because Cat Stevens was not my era,
although I know of him.









ps. Senex somebody or other this morning told me that you wanted to ask
me something? whether it be true or not I have no idea, nontheless if you
want to discuss if after work let me know : )
