Welcome to this Cat Stevens Father And Son page where you'll find the song lyrics here along with a demo on how I play this one on the acoustic.

The song Father And Son was wrtten by Cat Stevens and made its debut on the 1970 album called Tea For The Tillerman. It was also released on the B-side of the single Moon Shadow.

Its not time to make a change ... just relax, take it easy
Youre still young, thats your fault, theres so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down ... if you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy

I was once like you are now ... and I know that its not easy
To be calm when you've found ... something going on
Take your time, think a lot ... think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow ... but your dreams may not

How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again
Its always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

Break

Its not time to make a change just sit down, take it slowly
Youre still young thats your fault theres so much you have to go thru
Find a girl, settle down ... if you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy

All the times that I cried keeping all the things I knew inside
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
