Beware of Darkness

Watch out now, take care
Beware of fallen singers dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles in your fingertips
Beware of darkness

Watch out, now, take care
And beware of 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
And beware of softshoe shufflers
Dancing down the sideboards
As each unconscious sufferer wanders aimlessly
Beware of darkness

Watch out, now, take care
And beware of greedy leaders
They take you where you should not go
While weeping at the cedars, they just won't grow
Beware of darkness
