Beware of Darkness (Day 2 Demo / Take 1) Lyrics

Watch out now
Take care, beware of falling swingers
Falling all around you
The pain that often lingers
In your fingertips
Beware of darkness

Watch out now
Take care, beware 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
It can go and make you sore
That is not what you are here for

Watch out now
Take care, beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks
Pushing you in puddles
In the dead of night
Beware of ABKCO
Watch out now
Take care, beware of falling swingers
Crashing all around you
The pain that often lingers
In your fingertips
Beware of darkness

What did George Harrison say about "Beware of Darkness (Day 2 Demo / Take 1)"?
Genius Answer

I didn’t even know it was recorded at the time. It came out later on a bootleg, and it’s strange when something you didn’t ever consider to be a record is suddenly something somebody digs out and plays as what’s supposed to be the record.

— To Billboard, 2000
