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.

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.

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

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…

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

...it’s just a matter of time.

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
8.
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…

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
10.
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

about

''When someone spends his whole life amongst the sheep, he usually ends up acting like them,
moving like them, even bleating like them, becoming indistinguishable from the flock. Here, we
tell the story of those who don't. We tell the story of those who cry when others laugh and it only
takes a hard day's night and a great love that hurts bad, to remember who they trully are. So,
when the shepherd tells them not to stray 'cause the wolf will get them, you shouldn't get fooled...
They nod in agreement not because they are afraid of him, but because they got the wolf inside
them.''
