Lyrics
0:16Please beware of them that stare
0:18They'll only smile to see you while
0:21Your time away
0:26And once youve seen what they have been
0:28To win the earth just won't seem worth
0:30Your night or your day
0:34Wholl hear what I say
0:40Look around you find the ground
0:42Is not so far from where you are
0:44But not too wise
0:49For down below they never grow
0:51Theyre always tired and charms are hired
0:55From out of their eyes
0:59Never surprise
1:06Take your time and youll be fine
1:08And say a prayer for people there
1:11Who live on the floor
1:15And if you see whats meant to be
1:17Don't name the day or try to say
1:20It happened before
1:32Don't be shy you learn to fly
1:33And see the sun when day is done
1:37If only you see
1:40Just what you are beneath a star
1:42That came to stay one rainy day
1:46In autumn for free
1:49Yes be what youll be
2:27Please beware of them that stare
2:29They'll only smile to see you while
2:31Your time away
2:36And once youve seen what they have been
2:38To win the earth just won't seem worth
2:41Your night or your day
2:45Wholl hear what I say
2:53Open up the broken cup
2:55Let goodly sin and sunshine in
2:58Yes thats today
3:02And open wide the hymns you hide
3:04You find reknown while people frown
3:08At things that you say
3:12But say what youll say
3:17About the farmers and the fun
3:21And the things behind the sun
3:26And the people round your head
3:31Who say everythings been said
3:36And the movement in your brain
3:40Sends you out into the rain
Please beware of them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once youve seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Wholl 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 Theyre always tired and charms are hired From out of their eyes Never surprise Take your time and youll be fine And say a prayer for people there Who live on the floor And if you see whats 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 youll be Please beware of them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once youve seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Wholl hear what I say Open up the broken cup Let goodly sin and sunshine in Yes thats today And open wide the hymns you hide You find reknown while people frown At things that you say But say what youll say About the farmers and the fun And the things behind the sun And the people round your head Who say everythings been said And the movement in your brain Sends you out into the rain
