rake - dorthia cottrell lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i used to wake and run with the moon
live like a rake and a young man
i covered my lovers in flowers and wounds
my laughter, the devil would frighten

the sun, she would come and beat me back down
but every cruel day had its nightfall
i’d welcome the stars with wine and guitars
full of fire and forgetful

[verse 2]
my body was sharp, my dark hair 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 and i was the sea
i wouldn’t have noticed it passing
excеpt for the turning of night into day
the turning of day into cursing

[verse 3]
well, you look at mе 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 playing
a lover of women, i can’t hardly stand
he trembles, he’s bent, and he’s broken
i’ve fallen, it’s true, but i say to you
hold your tongues until after i’ve spoken

[verse 4]
i was taking my pride in pleasures i’d known
i laughed and thought i’d be forgiven
but my laughter turned round, eyes blazing, and said
“friend, we’re holding a wedding”

i buried my face, but he spoke once again
the night to the day we’re a*binding
and now the dark air is like fire on my skin
and even the moonlight is blinding
even the moonlight is blinding
