Slow In The Uptake

‘Beware of Darkness’ (di George Harrison), Eric Clapton @ ‘Concert for George’, 29.11.2002, Royal Albert Hall, Londra

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 we 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 shouldn’t go
While weeping atlas cedars
They just wanna grow, grow and grow
Beware of darkness (beware of darkness)
