	George Martin in an interview stated that he was astonished at the George Harrison song "Something"--he 'didn't know that George had it in him.' That's the way I feel about this song--even given his previous Beatles successes I never suspected that George could write such a song as this. The decade of the 1970's did not see a profoundly perceptive commentary to match this one...and in a song with a strong melody and guitar work as a bonus. Beautiful song.

Lyrics

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)
