Father and Son Songtext

von Francis Dunnery

It's not time to make a change
Just sit down and 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, what?
Think of everything you've got
'Cause 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
The same old story

From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know
I just 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 tried
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
I just have to go away, I know I have to go
