[00:00.00]Rake - WINO
[00:05.13]Written by：Townes Van Zandt
[00:10.26]I used to wake
[00:11.39]
[00:12.15]And run with the moon
[00:13.89]I lived like a rake and a young man
[00:16.65]
[00:17.83]I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds
[00:21.30]
[00:21.85]My laughter the Devil would frighten
[00:24.39]
[00:25.22]The sun she would come
[00:26.77]
[00:27.44]And beat me back down
[00:29.31]Every cruel day had it's nightfall
[00:31.83]
[00:32.85]I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars
[00:36.24]
[00:36.92]Full of fire and forgetful
[00:38.94]
[00:41.99]My body was sharp
[00:43.89]My dark hair clean
[00:45.68]And outrage my joyful companion
[00:48.41]
[00:49.83]Whispering women how sweet did they seem
[00:52.63]
[00:53.13]Kneeling for me to command them
[00:55.73]
[00:56.96]And time was like water
[00:58.57]But I was the sea
[00:59.82]
[01:00.38]I'd never have noticed it passing
[01:03.30]
[01:04.44]Except for the turning of night into day
[01:07.68]And the turning of day into cursing
[01:10.35]
[01:21.09]You look at me now
[01:22.62]And don't think I don't know
[01:24.30]
[01:25.01]What all your eyes are a saying
[01:27.13]
[01:28.08]Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies
[01:31.94]They're just tricks that his brains been a playing
[01:34.43]
[01:35.75]A lover of women
[01:37.37]He can't hardly stand
[01:39.57]He trembles he's bent and he's broken
[01:42.24]
[01:43.13]I've fallen it's true
[01:44.71]But I say unto you
[01:46.30]Hold your tongues until after I've spoken
[01:49.10]
[01:52.26]I was taking my pride with the pleasures I'd known
[01:55.42]
[01:55.92]I laughed and thought I'd be forgiven
[01:59.22]But my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and said
[02:03.61]Son is gone be wedding
[02:05.40]
[02:07.05]I buried my face
[02:08.64]Spoke once again
[02:09.84]
[02:10.36]The day and night we're a binding
[02:13.14]
[02:13.98]And now the dark air fire on my skin
[02:17.79]And even the moonlight is blinding
[02:20.28]
[02:23.29]And now the dark air fire on my skin
[02:27.11]And even the moonlight is blinding
