Letra de la canción 'RAKE' de 'TOWNES VAN ZANDT'

By townes van zandt
proofread and authorized by jeanene van zandt

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
iand'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
whisperinand' women how sweet did they seem
kneelinand' for me to command them
and time was like water but i was the sea
iand'd have never noticed it passinand'
except for the turninand' of night into day
and the turninand' of day into cursinand'

you look at me now, and donand't think i donand't know
what all your eyes are a sayinand'
does he want us to believe these ravings and lies
theyand're just tricks that his brains been a playinand'?
a lover of women he canand't hardly stand
he trembles heand's bent and heand's broken
iand've fallen itand's true but i say unto you
hold your tongues until after iand've spoken

i was takinand' my pride in the pleasures iand'd known
i laughed and thought iand'd be forgiven
but my laughter turned and'round eyes blazing and
said my friend, weand're holdinand' a wedding
i buried my face but it spoke once again
the night to the day weand're a bindinand'
and now the dark air is like fire on my skin
and even the moonlight is blinding
