FRANCIS DUNNERY lyrics : "Father and son"

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.
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-- away away away, I know I have to

Make this decision alone - no)
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.
(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )
