Take Care, Please Take Care

Beautiful, sad, full, empty words and sounds from Big Star. And then covered by Yo La Tengo.

Take care not to hurt yourself

Beware of the need for help

You might need too much  

And people are such  

Take care  

Please, take care  

Some people read idea books  

And some people have pretty looks  

But if your eyes are wide  

And all words aside  

This sounds a bit like goodbye  

In a way it is, I guess  

As I leave your side  

I've taken the air
