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.
