Steve Earle
Rake

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, it would come and beat me back down
But every cruel day had it's nightfall
I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars
Full of fire and forgetful

Well, my body was sharp, the dark air clean
And outrage my joyful companion
And whisperin' women, how sweet did they seem
Kneelin' for me to command them

And time was like water but I was the sea
And I'd 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 of your eyes are sayin'
So he wants us to believe these ravings and lies
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
Well, 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

And I buried my face but it spoke once again
It's the night to the day that 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
It's the night to the day that we're a bindin'
And I buried my face but it spoke once again

My friend we're holdin' a wedding
But my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and said
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
Well, 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

Just tricks that his brains been a playin'?
So he wants us to believe these ravings and lies
What all of your eyes are 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
And I'd never noticed it passin'
And time was like water but I was the sea

Kneelin' for me to command them
And whisperin' women, how sweet did they seem
And outrage my joyful companion
Well, 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 it's nightfall
The sun, it 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
