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 light may shine through Along came a mourning of another Blind sided by your sweet surprise Odetta, don't you know That you saved this young man's soul He go watch you getting wise And you go watch him growing old You're 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 Along came a mourning of another Blind sided by your sweet surprise Odetta, don't you know That you saved this young man's soul He go watch you getting wise And you go watch him growing old You got to hold him close Odetta, don't you ever let him go Might be a long wild road Although we may need you then We need you now more than ever Odetta, don't you know That you saved this young man's soul He go watch you getting wise And you go watch him growing old Odetta
