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,
|
Why, 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.
|
|
Son
|
All the times that I 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 you know not me.
|
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
|
I know I have to go.
