[Chorus:]
|
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
|
Don't 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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Open up the broken cup
|
Let goodly sin and sunshine in
|
Yes that's today
|
And open wide the hymns you hide
|
You find renown 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
|
