Marianne Faithfull - Beware Of Darkness Lyrics

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.
