Dedicato a un... Son

Tre giorni fa, solo tre giorni fa, mi chiedesti: "Quando ricominci a scrivere, ché voglio leggere qualcosa?". Poi, ieri, improvviso, il dolore. Quello vero... quello nero, che annienta tutto e tutti.

Ricomincio da te, Amico mio. E lo dedico a Voi due.

Father and Son (Cat 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
I 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
And 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 and 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've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And 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
