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 |

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 |
