Rake

Townes Van Zandt

Text File

---------------------------------------------------------- Submitted by Christof ---------------------------------------------------------- Dm Well, I used to wake F and run with the moon G I lived like a rake and a young man Dm I covered my lovers F with flowers and wounds G my laughter the devil would frighten. F G My sun, she would come C Dm and beat me back down C Dm but every cruel day had its nightfall F G I'd welcome the stars C Dm with whinin' guitars C Dm full of fire and forgetful My body was sharp my dark hair clean and outraged 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 I wouldn't have noticed it passing except for the turning of night into day and turning of day into cursing And you look at me now don't think I don't know what all your eyes are saying Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies they're just tricks that his brain's been aplayin'? A lover, the women he can't hardly stand he trembles, is bent and is broken I fall on his true but I say to you hold your tongues until after I've spoken I was taken my pride and the pleasure I'd known I laughed and said I'd be forgiven but my laughter turned round eyes blazin' and saying friend, we're holding the weapon I buried my face but it spoke once again night to the day we're a-binding and now the dark hair's like fire on my skin and even the moonlight is blinding #--------------------------------------------------------------#
