Father Lyrics - Back To Earth - Cat Stevens

Father, oh father, 

Hear me if you can. 

Is it true what they say, 

That life is a dream? 

I don't understand 

The things that make rain in my eyes; 

Are they real or are they lies? 

You know I hear so much about you now. 

I'd give anything 

To go on a little boat with you; 

Talk about the scheme of things, 

On a little boat with you.

Father, oh father, 

Guide me if you can; 

Or give me the chance to follow you home. 

I am your son, but I wish I knew you 

When you were young. 

Were you lonely as a boy? 

You know I'd give so much to see you now; 

I'd go anywhere. 

Pick a little stick and walk with you; 

Talk about the scheme of things, 

On a short walk with you. 

Father, oh father. 

You give me just a little hope. 

I feel something out there reaching for me. 

Well here I am, 

Won't you take me with you 

Out of this maze, 

And away from this place? 

Photos 

Because it gets so cold and lonely here. 

I'll do anything 

To sit on a little rock with you; 

Talk about the scheme of things, 

On a small rock with you. 

Show me, show me, show me the way, 

Before they grind me down 

And bleach me grey. 

Send me power not to be afraid, 

And when I close my eyes 

Let me see you once in the light. 

Father, oh father, 

Heal me if you can. 

Is it true what they say, 

That life is a dream?
