[00:27.98]Well, I used to wake and run with the moon
[00:34.25]I lived like a rake and a young man
[00:40.62]I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds
[00:46.62]My laughter the devil would frighten
[00:53.08]The sun she would come and beat me back down
[00:58.97]But every cruel day had it’s nightfall
[01:05.55]I’d welcome the stars with wine and guitars
[01:12.66]Full of fire and forgetful
[01:20.86]Well, my body was sharp, the dark air clean
[01:27.24]And outrage my joyful companion
[01:33.80]And whisperin’ women how sweet did they seem
[01:40.26]Kneelin’ for me to command them
[01:46.31]And time was like water but I was the sea
[01:52.47]I wouldn’t have noticed it passin’
[01:58.83]Except for the turnin’ of night into day
[02:04.68]And the turnin’ of day into cursin’
[02:14.31]They look at me now, don’t think I don’t know
[02:20.64]What all your eyes are sayin’
[02:26.62]Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies?
[02:32.82]They’re just tricks that his brains been playin’
[02:39.46]A lover of women he can’t hardly stand
[02:45.66]He trembles, he’s bent and he’s broken
[02:52.05]I’ve fallen it’s true but I say to you
[02:57.31]”Hold your tongues until after I’ve spoken”
[03:07.27]I was takin’ by pride in the pleasure I’d known
[03:13.62]I laughed and said I’d be forgiven
[03:20.09]But my laughter turned around, eyes blazing and
[03:25.03]Said, “Friend, we’re holdin’ a wedding”
[03:32.62]I buried my face but it spoke once again
[03:39.07]Night to the day we’re a bindin’
[03:45.39]And now the dark air is like fire on my skin
[03:51.30]And even the moonlight is blinding
[03:57.91]Now the dark air’s like fire on my skin
[04:04.92]And even the moonlight is blinding
