Текст песни: Rake + перевод

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 whispering women, how sweet did they seem

Kneeling for me to command them

And time was like water but I was the sea

And I’d never noticed it passing

Except for the turning of night into day

And the turning of day into cursing

You look at me now and don’t think I don’t know

What all of your eyes are saying

So he wants us to believe these ravings and lies

Just tricks that his brains been a playing?

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 taking 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 holding a wedding

And I buried my face but it spoke once again

It’s the night to the day that we’re a binding

And now the dark air is like fire on my skin

And even the moonlight is blinding
