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 (beware of darkness)

I absolutely love this version of this song.  I am a huge G.Harrison fan, and he wrote and recorded beautiful song in this one.  I just happen to think that Leon did a spectacular version as well.  The arrangement is more moving than Harrison's, in my opinion.  I suppose it's easier to add to an already great song than it is to write a great song, but I think it has been done a justice.  That opening salvo just slays me every time.
