Father and Son (KDM 159) Chris, Michael & Benjamin Froggatt (Cat Stevens) 1970

OPENER

Sides Face Grand Square

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

(Circle Left) Find a girl, settle down

Left Allemande and Promenade that ring now

Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy

FIGURE

Heads Square Thru 4 hands and go

Round your corner lady DoSaDo now

Swing Thru, Boys Run Right

Bend that Line, Right and Left Thru

Flutter Wheel, one time and go

Slide Thru, corner Swing, Promenade now

You may still be here tomorrow

But your dreams may not

MIDDLE BREAK

Sides Face Grand Square

How can I try to explain? When I do, he turns away again

It’s always been the same, same old story (Circle Left)

From the moment I could talk

Left Allemande and Promenade that ring now

Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away

CLOSER

Sides Face Grand Square

All the times that I’ve cried, keeping all the things I knew inside

It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it (Circle Left)

If they were right, I’d agree

Left Allemande and Promenade that ring now

There’s a way, and I know, I have to go away

TAG

I know, I have to go

ORIGINAL LYRICS

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, cause 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 (Away, away, away)
Just sit down, take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault (I know)
There's so much you have to go through (I have to make this decision)
Find a girl, settle down (Alone)
If you want you can marry
Look at me, (No) I am old, but I'm happy

Son:
All the times that I cried (Decision, decision, decision)
Keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard (Why must)
But it's harder to ignore it (You go and make this decision)
If they were right, I'd agree (Alone?)
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
