Beware Of Darkness/Give me Love - Can't get these out of my head

[Bonhomme Richard]

Beware Of Darkness


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)

Give Me Love

Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope, with this heavy load
Trying to, touch and reach you with,
heart and soul

OM M M M M M M M M M M M M M
M M M My Lord . . .

PLEASE take hold of my hand, that
I might understand you

Won't you please
Oh won't you

Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope, with this heavy load
Trying to, touch and reach you with,
heart and soul

OM M M M M M M M M M M M M M
M M M My Lord . . .

PLEASE take hold of my hand, that
I might understand you

George Harrison

1. These lines, in particular:

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

3. I think these line have had.................

the most impact on me after the election. I was becoming something other than myself and these helped.

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

4. beware of maya ...

man, that whole All Things Must Pass stuff blew me away ...

way back in 1973, a friend showed me how to make my own candles ... i had melted some wax in a sauce pan and there was a 1/8 inch thick layer that i accidently left in the bottom of the pan ... when it cooled, i her a perfect "wax record" ... i cut out a round label for it and wrote "All Things Must Pass" on it ... punched a couple of holes, put a string through it and hung it on the wall ... the next summer, the room got very badly overheated and the thing just dripped down the wall ... kinda eerie :scared: ... just a little memory from a long time ago ...

i really miss Harrison ... btw, if you've never listened to the jam on side 6 of the triple album, the song "Thanks for the Pepperoni" is incredible ... most people are more familiar with the songs with lyrics ...

5. For Christmas I got the Concert for George DVD.........

It blew me away and I can't get enough of Harrisons music. The group of guys I play with have been playing a lot of the stuff off the DVD.
Wonderful music and enlightening lyrics.

6. PBS fundraising ...

when the local PBS stations do their fundraising events, they often show a concert that's called something like "Carl Perkins and Friends" ... Perkins is the guy who first recorded "Blue Suede Shoes" although most people are more familiar with the version Elvis did ...

anyway, if you get a chance to see it, it's great ... playing along with Perkins are: Harrison, Ringo, Clapton, Rosanne Cash and a few other big people ... really great music ... it was Harrison's return performance after he hadn't played publically for about 10 years ...

also, on the Bob Dylan anniversay concert, Harrison did an incredible version of "Absolutely Sweet Marie" ... one of my favorites ... and of course, there's always the Travelling Wilburys ... i was just thinking the other day that we've lost Roy Orbison and Harrison, both of whom were in that band ...
