Father And SonIt'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
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
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
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
All the times that I've 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 they know - not me
Now there's a way
And I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go.

Mud Slide Slim And the Blue Horizon
Long ago a young man sits and plays his waiting game
But things are not the same it seems as in such tender dreams
Slowly passing sailing ships and Sunday afternoon
Like people on the moon I see are things not meant to be
Where do those golden rainbows end
Why is this song so sad
Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend
Loving the love I love to -
Love is just a word I heard when things are being said
Stories my poor head has told me cannot stand the cold
And in between what might have been and what has come to pass
A misbegotten guess alas and bits of broken glass
Where do your golden rainbows end
Why is this song I sing so sad
Dreaming the dreams I dream my friend
Loving the love I love to love- to love
