[Verse 1: Sheryl Crow]
Watch out now, take care, beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often lingers in your fingertips
Beware of darkness

[Verse 2: Brandi Carlile]
Watch out now, take care, beware of thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
And the hopelessness around you
In dead of night beware of sadness

[Bridge: Brandi Carlile]
It can hit you, it can hurt you
Make you soft what is more
This is not what you are here for

[Verse 3: Sheryl Crow & Eric Clapton]
Watch out now, take care, beware of soft shoe-shufflers
Dancin' down the sidewalks
As ancient cultures suffer
Wanders aimlessly
Beware of night

[Verse 4: Sheryl Crow & Eric Clapton]
Watch out now, take care, beware of greedy leaders
And 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)
