* 4-bar intro
* Verse 1 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.
* Verse 2 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.
* 11-bar break
* Verse 3 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 they 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?)
