Rake

I used to wake and run with the moon

I lived like a rake and a young man

I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds

My laughter the devil would frighten

♪

The sun, she would come and beat me back down

But every cruel day had its nightfall

I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars

Full of fire and forgetful

Full of fire and forgetful

♪

Body was sharp, the dark air clean

And outrage my joyful companion

Whisperin' women, how sweet did they seem

Kneelin' for me to command them

Time was like water and I was the sea

Never noticed it passin'

Except for the turnin' of night into day

Turnin' day into cursin'

Turnin' day into cursin'
