Things Behind The Sun Lyrics - Pink Moon - Nick Drake

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 renown 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 around your head 

Who say everything's been said 

And the movement in your brain 

Sends you out into the rain.
