[Verse 1]
My lover calls me “Baby Blue”
Come rescue me, I'll wait for you
And the devil don't sleep a wink
He comes a knockin' once I lay my head to dream
Comin' down on me, Baby Blue
[Pre-Chorus]
Lean on me like shelter from the storm
And pray for deliverance, o-oh lord
Lean on me honey, I'll keep you warm
While we wait for the knockin' on the door
[Chorus]
Oh no, oh no
The devil knows my name, call him wraith, screamin' “oh my lord!”
Oh lord, oh lord
The devil knows my name, when he came he called me renegade
Oh lord, oh lord
The devil knows my name, call him wraith, screamin' “oh my lord!”
Oh lord, oh lord
The devil knows my name, when he came he called me renegade
[Verse 2]
These chains on me, steel latch and noose
Baby we ain't free, and that's the truth
They say our God protect the weak
I quit callin' 'cause I guess he don't hear me
Comin' down on me, I pray he do
[Pre-Chorus]
Lean on me like shelter from the storm
And pray for deliverance, o-oh lord
Lean on me honey, I'll keep you warm
While we wait for the knockin' on the door
[Chorus]
Oh no, oh no
The devil knows my name, call him wraith, screamin' “oh my lord!”
Oh lord, oh lord
The devil knows my name, when he came he called me renegade
Oh lord, oh no
The devil knows my name, call him wraith, screamin' “oh my lord!”
Oh lord, oh lord
The devil knows my name, when he came he called me renegade
[Bridge]
Lean on me like shelter from the storm
Lean on me
[Chorus]
Oh no, oh no
The devil knows my name, call him wraith, screamin' “oh my lord!”
Oh lord, oh lord
The devil knows my name, when he came he called me renegade
Oh lord, oh no
The devil knows my name, call him wraith, screamin' “oh my lord!”
Oh lord, oh lord
The devil knows my name, when he came he called me renegade

I wrote this song during one of the darkest, most depressing times of my life. I was surrounded by pure evil, on a constant basis. Being dragged into the loneliest corner of my mind, I really didn’t think I was going to escape this time of my life.
This lullaby is for everyone who has forgotten the...
