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.
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.
Cat Stevens, 1970.
