Odetta

Odetta
And you were always tryna fill the void of my brother
Habits, oh, tryna find that something new
Never stare in the eyes of a lover
Seeking darkness wherever lightning shine through

Alone came a morning of another
Blind sided by your sweet surprise
Odetta, don't you know
That you save this young man's soul?
And 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 [?] you chose
Takes a brave and a stronger kind of woman
It's far away such a broken man can go
Alone came a morning of another
Blind sided by your sweet surprise
Odetta, don't you know
That you save this young man's soul?
And he go watch you getting wise
And you go watch him growing old
You got to hold him close
Odetta, don't you never let him go
Might be a long wild road
Although we may need you there
We need you now more than ever
Odetta, don't you know
That you save this young man soul?
And he go watch you getting wise
And you go watch him growing old
Odetta
