Lirik

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
My body was sharp, the dark year clean
And outrage my joyful companion
Whispering women, how sweet did they seem
Kneeling for me to command them
And time was like water but I was to see
I wouldn't have noticed it passing
Except for the turning of night into day
And the turning of day into cursing
And the turning of day into cursing
And the turning of day into cursing
You look at me now and don't think I don't know
What all your eyes are a-saying
Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies?
They're just tricks that his brain's been a-playing
A lover of women he can't hardly stand
He trembles, he's bent and he's broken
I've fallen it's true but I say unto you
Hold your tongues son till after I've spoken
Hold your tongues son till after I've spoken
Hold your tongues son till after I've spoken
I was taking my pride in the pleasures I'd known
I laughed and I thought I'd be forgiven
My laughter turned round, eyes blazing, and said
"My friend, we're holding a wedding"
I buried my face but it spoke once again
"The night to the day we're a-binding"
Now the dark years like fire on my skin
And even the moonlight is blinding
Now the dark years like fire on my skin
And even the moonlight is blinding
