Yusuf Islam / Cat Stevens

Father and son

1. 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

2. 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 you dreams may not

Ref.: How can I try to explain, 'cos 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

Ref.: (Instrumental)

1. 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

Ref.: 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
