Things Behind the Sun Bic Runga

Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while
Your time away

When 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'll find the ground
Is not so far from where you are
But don't be too wise

For down below they never grow
They're always tired and charms are hired
From out of their eyes
It's no 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
