Please beware of them that stare

They'll only smile to see you while

Your time away

And once you've seen what they have been

To win the earth just won't seem worth

Your night or your day

Who'll hear what I say.

Look around you find the ground

Is not so far from where you are

But not too wise

For down below they never grow

They're always tired and charms are hired

From out of their eyes

Never surprise.



Take your time and you'll be fine

And say a prayer for people there

Who live on the floor

And if you see what's meant to be

Don't name the day or try to say

It happened before.



Don't be shy you learn to fly

And see the sun when day is done

If only you see

Just what you are beneath a star

That came to stay one rainy day

In autumn for free

Yes, be what you'll be.

Please beware of them that stare

They'll only smile to see you while

Your time away

And once you've seen what they have been

To win the earth just won't seem worth

Your night or your day

Who'll hear what I say.



Open up the broken cup

Let goodly sin and sunshine in

Yes that's today.

And open wide the hymns you hide

You find reknown while people frown

At things that you say

But say what you'll say

About the farmers and the fun

And the things behind the sun

And the people round your head

Who say everything's been said

And the movement in your brain

Sends you out into the rain.
