Lirik

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
And 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 air clean
And outrage my joyful companion
Whispering women
How sweet did they seem
Kneeling for me to command them
Time was like water
But I was the sea
I wouldn’t have noticed it passing
Except for the turning
Of night into day
And the turning of day into cursing
Well look at me now
Don’t think I don’t know
What all of 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 until after I’ve spoken
I was taken by pride
In the pleasures I’d known
I laughed and said I’ll be forgiven
But 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 a day we’re a binding
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
