lyrics

RAKE (by Townes van Zandt)
Well, 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 it's nightfall
I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars
Full of fire and forgetful

Well, my body was sharp, the dark air clean
And outrage my joyful companion
Whisperin' men how sweet did they seem
Kneelin' for me to command them
And time was like water but I was the sea
I wouldn't have noticed it passin'
Except for the turnin' of night into day
And the turnin' of day into cursin'


I was takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known
I laughed and said I'll be forgiven
But my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and said
My friend, we're holdin' a wedding
I buried my face but it spoke once again
The night to the day we're a bindin'
And now the dark air is like fire on my skin
And even the moonlight is blinding

Now the dark air is like fire on my skin
And even the moonlight is blinding
