Father
It’s not time to make a change
Just relaxtake it easy.
You’re still youngthat’s your fault
There’s so much you have to know.
Find a girlsettle down
If you want you can marry.
Look at meI am oldbut I’m happy.
I was once like you are nowand I know that it’s not easy
To be calm when you’ve found something going on.
But take your timethink a lot
Whythink of everything you’ve got.
For you will still be here tomorrowbut your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explainwhen I do he turns away again.
It’s always been the samesame 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 downtake it slowly.
You’re still youngthat’s your fault
There’s so much you have to go through.
Find a girlsettle down
If you want you can marry.
Look at meI am oldbut I’m happy.
(son— away away awayI know I have to
Make this decision alone — no)
Son
All the times that I criedkeeping all the things I knew inside
It’s hardbut it’s harder to ignore it.
If they were rightI’d agreebut it’s them you know not me.
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(father— stay stay staywhy must you go and
Make this decision alone? )
