I used to wake and run with the moon[00:00:31]

I lived like a rake and a young man[00:00:34]

I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds[00:00:40]

My laughter the devil would frighten[00:00:45]

The sun she would come and beat me back down[00:00:50]

But every cruel day had it's nightfall[00:00:56]

I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars[00:01:01]

Full of fire and forgetful[00:01:07]

My body was sharp the dark air clean[00:01:15]

And outrage my joyful companion[00:01:20]

Whisperin' women how sweet did they seem[00:01:26]

Kneelin' for me to command them[00:01:31]

And time was like water but I was the sea[00:01:37]

I'd have never noticed it passin'[00:01:42]

Except for the turnin' of night into day[00:01:47]

And the turnin' of day into cursin'[00:01:53]

You look at me now and don't think I don't know[00:02:01]

What all your eyes are a sayin'[00:02:07]

Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies[00:02:12]

They're just tricks that his brains been a playin'[00:02:18]

A lover of women he can't hardly stand[00:02:23]

He trembles he's bent and he's broken[00:02:28]

I've fallen it's true but I say unto you[00:02:34]

Hold your tongues until after I've spoken[00:02:40]

I was takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known[00:02:53]

I laughed and thought I'd be forgiven[00:02:59]

But my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and[00:03:04]

Said my friend we're holdin' a wedding[00:03:08]

I buried my face but it spoke once again[00:03:15]

The night to the day we're a bindin'[00:03:21]

And now the dark air is like fire on my skin[00:03:32]

And even the moonlight is blinding[00:03:43]
