Marianne Faithfull - Beware of Darkness lyrics

rate me

Watch out now, take care,

Beware of falling swingers

Dropping all around you

The pain that often mingles

In your fingertips.

Beware of darkness.

Watch out now, take care,

Beware the thoughts that linger

Winding up inside your head

The hopelessness around you

In the dead of night.

Beware of sadness.

It can hit you

It can hurt you

Make you sore

And what is more,

That is not what

You are here for.

Watch out now, take care,

Beware of soft shoe shufflers

Dancing down the sidewalks

As each unconscious sufferer

Wanders aimlessly,

Beware of Maya.

Watch out now, take care,

Beware of greedy leaders.

They'll take you where you should not go,

While weeping Atlas cedars,

They just want to grow, grow and grow.

Beware of darkness.
