Father and son

Cats Stevens

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.

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.

 

 

My Lady D'Arbanville

 

My Lady D'Arbanville

Why do you sleep so still?

I'll wake you tomorrow

And you will be my fill

Yes you will be my fill

 

My Lady D'Arbanville

Why does it grieve me so?

But your heart seems so silent

Why do you breath so low?

Why do you breath so low?

 

My Lady D'Arbanville

Why do you sleep so still?

I'll wake you tomorrow

And you will be my fill

Yes you will be my fill

 

My Lady D'Arbanville

You look so cold tonight

Your lips feel like winter

Your skin has turned to white

Your skin has turned to white

 

My Lady D'Arbanville

Why do you sleep so still?

I'll wake you tomorrow

And you will be my fill

Yes you will be my fill

 

My Lady D'Arbanville

Why do you greet me so?

But your heart seems so silent

Why do you breath so low?

Why do you breath so low?

 

I loved you my Lady

Though in your grave you lie

I'll always be with you

This rose will never die

This rose will never die

 

I loved you my Lady

Though in your grave you lie

I'll always be with you

This rose will never die

This rose will never die


 

Wild World

 

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
 
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
 
Chorus:
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
 
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
'Cause I never wanna see you a sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
 
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
 
Chorus
 
Baby, I love you
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
 
Chorus
