Odetta

You were always tryna fill the void of my brother
Habits so old, tryna find that something new
Never stand in the arms of a lover
Seeking darkness wherever lightning shine through
Alone came a morning of another
Blind sided by your sweet surprise
Odetta, dont you know
That you saved this young mans soul?
He go watch you getting wise
And you go watch him growing old
Youre always searching for destruction
Now you bare the scars of a path in which you chose
It takes a brave and a stronger kind of woman
To follow where such a broken man can go
Alone came a morning of another
Blind sided by your sweet surprise
Odetta, dont you know
That you saved this young mans soul?
He go watch you getting wise
And you go watch him growing old
You got to hold him close
Odetta, dont you ever let him go
Might be a long wild road
Although we may need you there
We need you now more than ever
Odetta, dont you know
That you saved this young mans soul?
He go watch you getting wise
And you go watch him growing old
Odetta
