Father and son
|
It’s not time to make a change
Just relax 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
But 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
And 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
All the times that I’ve cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
That 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
