Album: Tea for the Tillerman
Father:
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
But take your time, think a lot, but think of everything you've 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.
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
Father:
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.
Background Son:
Away! Away! Away! I know I have to go
Make this decision alone
Son:
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
Background Father:
Stay! Stay! Stay! Why must you go and
make this decision alone?
