@ALBUM: All things must pass
@ARTIST: George Harrison
@SONG: Beware Of Darkness

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 of 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 take you where you should not go
While Weeping Atlas Cedars
They just want to grow, grow and grow
Beware of darkness



Notes:

From Harrison's "I Me Mine" book:

"Beware of Darkness was written at home in England during a period when I
had some of my friends from the Radha Krishna temple staying: 'Watch out for
Maya'."

Maya:

4) In Brahman, ignorance of the ULTIMATE REALITY produces the illusory
world of name and form, or MAYA, through superimposition."
