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 air clean
and outrage my joyful companion
whisperin' women how sweet did they seem
kneelin' for me to command them
And time was like water but I was the sea
I'd have never noticed it passin'
except for the turnin' of night into day
and the turnin' of day into cursin'
You look at me now, and don't think I don't know
what all your eyes are a sayin'
Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies
they're just tricks that his brains been a playin'?
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 takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known
I laughed and thought I'd be forgiven
but my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and
said my friend, we're holdin' a wedding
I buried my face but it spoke once again
the night to the day we're a bindin'
and now the dark air is like fire on my skin
and even the moonlight is blinding


Mirror lyrics:

and even the moonlight is blinding
and now the dark air is like fire on my skin
the night to the day we're a bindin'
I buried my face but it spoke once again
said my friend, we're holdin' a wedding
but my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and
I laughed and thought I'd be forgiven
I was takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known
hold your tongues until after I've spoken
I've fallen it's true but I say unto you
he trembles he's bent and he's broken
A lover of women he can't hardly stand
they're just tricks that his brains been a playin'?
Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies
what all your eyes are a sayin'
You look at me now, and don't think I don't know
and the turnin' of day into cursin'
except for the turnin' of night into day
I'd have never noticed it passin'
And time was like water but I was the sea
kneelin' for me to command them
whisperin' women how sweet did they seem
and outrage my joyful companion
My body was sharp the dark air clean
full of fire and forgetful
I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars
but every cruel day had its nightfall
The sun she would come and beat me back down
my laughter the devil would frighten
I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds
I lived like a rake and a young man
I used to wake and run with the moon
