Rake Songtext
von Barbara Gosza

Well I used to live and run like the moon
I lived like a wreckin′ young girl
I covered my lovers with flowers and wounds
My laughter the devil a-frightened
And the sun, she would come and beat me back down
But every cool day has its nightfall
I'd welcome the stars with wine and guitars
And a fire unforgettable


Oh my body was sure and my dark hair clean
As I reached my joy for companion
And whispering men, oh how sweet did they seem
Kneeling for me to command them
And time was like water but I was the sea
I couldn′t just know how to pass it
Except for the turning of night into day
And the turning of day into cursing
Was a turning of day into cursing

Well you look at me now, don't think I don't know
What all your eyes are a-saying
For you want us to bleed as ravens and lions
It′s tricks that your brain′s been a-playing
A lover, a woman, you can hardly stand
You tumble until you are broken
Well I've fallen too, but I say to you
Hold your tongues until after I′ve spoken
Hold your tongues until after I've spoken
Hold your tongues until after I′ve spoken
