Townes Van Zandt - Rake слова песни
By townes van zandtProofread and authorized by jeanene van zandtI used to wake and run with the moonI lived like a rake and a young manI covered my lovers with flowers and woundsMy laughter the devil would frightenThe sun she would come and beat me back downBut every cruel day had its nightfallId welcome the stars with wine and guitarsFull of fire and forgetfulMy body was sharp the dark air cleanAnd outrage my joyful companionWhisperin women how sweet did they seemKneelin for me to command themAnd time was like water but I was the seaId have never noticed it passinExcept for the turnin of night into dayAnd the turnin of day into cursinYou look at me now, and dont think I dont knowWhat all your eyes are a sayinDoes he want us to believe these ravings and liesTheyre just tricks that his brains been a playin? A lover of women he cant hardly standHe trembles hes bent and hes brokenIve fallen its true but I say unto youHold your tongues until after Ive spokenI was takin my pride in the pleasures Id knownI laughed and thought Id be forgivenBut my laughter turned round eyes blazing andSaid my friend, were holdin a weddingI buried my face but it spoke once againThe night to the day were a bindinAnd now the dark air is like fire on my skinAnd even the moonlight is blinding
