And time was like water but I was the sea
You look at me now and don't think I don't know
What all your eyes are a sayin'
Full of fire and forgetful
I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars
Hold your tongues until after I've spoken
I laughed and thought I'd be forgiven
The night to the day we're a bindin'
I'd have never noticed it passin'
Kneelin' for me to command them
I was takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known
And the turnin' of day into cursin'
They're just tricks that his brains been a playin'?
My laughter, the Devil would frighten
Whisperin' women, how sweet did they seem
I've fallen it's true but I say unto you
The sun, she would come and beat me back down
I buried my face but it spoke once again
Said my friend, we're holdin' a wedding
Except for the turnin' of night into day
My body was sharp, the dark air clean
He trembles, he's bent and he's broken
And outrage my joyful companion
And now the dark air is like fire on my skin
Does he want us to believe these ravings and lies
But my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and
But every cruel day had its nightfall
I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds
A lover of women, he can't hardly stand
