Steve Earle - Rake |
| [00:03.95] |
|
| [00:10.59] |
I used to wake and run with the moon |
| [00:16.03] |
I lived like a rake and a young man |
| [00:20.80] |
I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds |
| [00:26.13] |
My laughter, the Devil would frighten |
| [00:29.87] |
|
| [00:31.09] |
The sun, she would come and beat me back down |
| [00:36.28] |
But every cruel day had its nightfall |
| [00:41.04] |
I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars |
| [00:47.27] |
Full of fire and forgetful |
| [00:51.08] |
|
| [00:58.60] |
My body was sharp, the dark air clean |
| [01:04.12] |
And outrage my joyful companion |
| [01:09.16] |
Whisperin' women, how sweet did they seem |
| [01:14.30] |
Kneelin' for me to command them |
| [01:18.55] |
|
| [01:19.50] |
And time was like water but I was the sea |
| [01:24.38] |
I'd have never noticed it passin' |
| [01:29.40] |
Except for the turnin' of night into day |
| [01:34.09] |
And the turnin' of day into cursin' |
| [01:38.80] |
|
| [01:46.22] |
You look at me now and don't think I don't know |
| [01:52.06] |
What all your eyes are a sayin' |
| [01:57.11] |
Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies |
| [02:02.23] |
They're just tricks that his brains been a playin'? |
| [02:06.09] |
|
| [02:07.55] |
A lover of women, he can't hardly stand |
| [02:12.30] |
He trembles, he's bent and he's broken |
| [02:17.04] |
I've fallen it's true but I say unto you |
| [02:21.08] |
Hold your tongues until after I've spoken |
| [02:27.98] |
|
| [02:35.00] |
I was takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known |
| [02:40.14] |
I laughed and thought I'd be forgiven |
| [02:45.65] |
But my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and |
| [02:49.44] |
Said my friend, we're holdin' a wedding |
| [02:55.03] |
|
| [02:55.36] |
I buried my face but it spoke once again |
| [03:00.08] |
The night to the day we're a bindin' |
| [03:05.75] |
And now the dark air is like fire on my skin |
| [03:11.05] |
And even the moonlight is blinding |
| [03:18.19] |
|
