One night, one of the darkest nights, Death came by his bedside. Maybe it was just a dream, we'll never know, but anyway he came by and whispered in his ear: "Listen closely to me, son and know that the only touch that really matters is mine. And you should feel glad that I haven't touched you yet", Death said while checkin' upon his sickle. "I don't mind dying. Touch me whenever you want, if you can. But don't ever dare to touch the child inside me. That child that's still capable of loving and dreaming with his soul", said the man, lighting another cigarette.

Daddy's Blues
04:44
|

Well I work so hard, babe, since I was a little boy
My father used to tell me, I’m his pride and joy
Well I work so hard, babe, since I was a little boy
My father used to tell me, I’m his pride and joy
I was almost ten, when my father he came in
He told me «Son, you should know about the shape I’m in»
I was almost ten, babe, when my father he came in
That's the way my father, he taught me the blues
Then he took me out with him, out in the cotton fields
To show me how babe, to plant the seeds
Then he took me out with him out in the cotton fields
That’s the way my father he taught me the blues
Well he taught me the hard workin’ way
How to work with naked hands both night and day
Well he taught the hard workin’ way
That’s the way my father he taught me the blues
...tribute to Bill.

In The Shadows
05:45
|

I saw you walkin’ in the shadows
Tryin’ to hide from your pain
No one knows in the shadows
While you’re tryin’ to hide from your pain
In the shadows, no one knows you in the shadows
I found you cryin’ all alone
Without a hand to hold your back
Tryin’ to get your game face on
Now that your heart has got a crack
In the shadows, no one hurt in the shadows
I heard you knockin’ on my door
With an empty bottle in your hand
Tryin’ to deal with your own devils
Tryin’ to make ‘em run away
In the shadows, no one tells you what to do
But now babe, that I’ve met you
I’m gonna take you by the hand
I’ll throw away your game face babe
I’ll make your devils run away
Ain’t gonna let you livin’ in the shadows
Ain’t gonna let you livin’ in the shadows, I swear to God
Ain’t gonna let you livin’ in the shadows

Endless Boogie
04:30
|
|||
I remember the day
That you left me all alone
You packed your suitcase babe
And you walked on down the floor
The wind was blowin’
And the rain was fallin’ hard
My eyes were burnin’ babe
But your heart was so stone cold
(Spoken words)
So you did it again girl, same all, same old story again
But don’t you fuckin’ get it? You screwed up my life, my soul, my mind, my everything
So what the fuck is goin’ on here, don’t you see you’re drivin’ me crazy woman?
But wait a minute, maybe I’m wrong, maybe the whole world is wrong
It seems like an endless boogie to me
Yes, I can see clearly now! Maybe it’s my own fault
Is it?
What’s goin’ on babe?
What’s goin’ on in your mind?
What can I do for you?
What can I do for you to be satisfied?
You know I love you babe
You know I love you more than myself
You know I miss you
You know I miss you both night and day
(Spoken words)
You know I miss you, I love you more than my fuckin’ self
And I’ll tell you this, every time we say goodbye it seems, well it feels actually the same, even I don’t admit it
I remember the first time I saw you, standin’ there in the corner watchin’ at me with that colorful dress and those colorful hair
You looked at me and…
But since then the same boogie, again and again, rollin’ all over, all over the same spot
Slidin’ back and forward…

Dangerous Love
05:53
|
|||
When I wake up, in the mornin’
I find my babe playin’ with my gun
She’s so decided, in the mornin’
That she wants to blow up my mind
When I ask her for some coffee
She looks at me just like an evil cat
Cause she’s dreamin’ of my coffin
And how to finally get me off her back
Cause she’s my dangerous love
When the night falls, I find my baby
Lyin’ in my lovin’ arms
But I can’t get no sleep
Cause I don’t know if she could do me no harm
Cause she’s my dangerous love
That’s why I decided the very next mornin’
That I had to throw my gun away
If I don’t wanna lose my baby
And live my life or find me dead instead
Now I got her walkin’ ‘round
She doesn’t know which other way to choose
She’s getting’ ready for the second round
And she knows that she ain’t got another chance to lose
She’s my dangerous love

You know I cry when others laugh
Sittin’ all alone
Don’t want nobody
Hangin’ ‘round my door
They’ve tried to teach me how to live
Teach me how to die
They gave me hate to breathe
And love to make me blind
So, I’m feelin’ blue among the sheep
I pretend my deepest smile
But after work the night
Wakes the wolf inside me
Well I got the wolf inside me babe
And I’m gonna show now
My teeth are sharp ‘n my hide is thick
You know I’ll spill some blood around
Well my heart is beatin’ fast and my soul’s on fire
Try to run, try to hide

Ain't Gonna Wait
06:48
|

I’m standin’ here all alone waitin’ for the rain to fall
To wash away my pain and clean up the mess in my heart
Hey Mrs. Rain, I don’t think I can wait any longer
I want you to come and wet me to the bone
And take my sorrow away
I’m standin’ here all alone, waitin’ for the train to come
And take me away from this haunted place
Hey Mr. Night-Friend, I don’t think I can wait any longer
I want you to come and take me away from this haunted place
Don’t know where I’m goin’, don’t know where I come from
Just drive Mr. Night-Friend that sinner train through the night
I’ve made up my mind, I ain’t gonna wait any longer
I’m gonna dive into the deepest blues
Hey Mrs. Sorrow, let’s fall in love with each other again
Hey Mrs. Sorrow, dive with me ‘til the end
Hey Mrs. Sorrow, dive with me until we…

There's A Devil After Me
04:15
|
|||
Well I got up in my sleep, I had the devil chasin’ me
I had to run, I had to hide, run away from him
And I looked under my bed and I looked into my closet
But I’m a tough grown man, I had to get a little bit closer
You know he came to me as a mule with dark red eyes upon it
He came to me as a red haired woman with a big tattoo
And he left me free to pick, oh lord, just pick one of the two
But it ain’t hard to tell, for the very first time I knew
She was talkin’ evil in my ears, forcin’ me to go on
And chase away my deepest fears walk the line alone
But she left me free to pick, oh lord, just pick one of the two
And it ain’t hard to tell, for the very first time I knew

Blue Moon's Blues
05:33
|
|||
Just take, take a look inside
I got things that I had to hide
All the debts that I had to pay
Each and every day
Well I feel, like a deep blue moon
And I have to come back soon
But damn this burden I can’t carry on
And I can’t tell what it’s right or wrong
Just take, take a look inside
I got things that I had to fight with
All the sins that I had to pay
Each and every day
Now I feel, like a deep blue moon
But I will come back soon
I threw away the burden so I carry on
And I don’t care if it’s right or wrong
