A letting go song - I'm sure of that but I'm not sure of the 'who'.
Country, acoustic folk, folk-rock, indie pop.
One man band - a wide range of acoustic based country, pop and folk crossover music.
Story behind the song
A rarity inasmuch as it came pretty well pre-formed. I woke up at 2:30am and wrote it down - recording it next day
Lyrics
Keep Your Wits About You
1.
Ah, I wondered where you were
But I?m glad you?re finally here
I won?t keep you long I swear
But I want to make it clear
Chorus:
I think you are too beautiful
To be set loose upon the world
There?s one thing you need to do
Please keep your wits about you
Don?t get swallowed by the crowd
They hide things that are not allowed
Things they?ll try to make you do
So keep yours wits about you
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Keep your wits about you
2.
So many things you need to know
Before I finally let you go
A thousand things I need to show
Doh, ray, mi, fah, soh, la, ti doh
Chorus:
I think you are too beautiful
To be set loose upon the world
There?s one thing you need to do
Please keep your wits about you
Don?t get swallowed by the crowd
They hide things that are not allowed
Things they?ll try to make you do
So keep yours wits about you
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Keep your wits about you
Bridge:
?don?t know, how to be bad,
You?re slow, on the uptake,
Of a mistake, cos? you?re so good
And I am scared they?ll hurt you?
Chorus:
I think you are too beautiful
To be set loose upon the world
There?s one thing you need to do
Please keep your wits about you
Don?t get swallowed by the crowd
They hide things that are not allowed
Things they?ll try to make you do
So keep yours wits about you
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Keep your wits about you
Tag:
(Sotto voce)
I think you are too beautiful
To be set loose upon the world
There?s one thing you need to do
Please keep your wits about you
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Keep your wits about you
