Odetta

[Verse 1:]
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.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Along came a mourning of another
Blind sided by your sweet surprise.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Verse 2:]
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.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Along came a mourning of another
Blind sided by your sweet surprise.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Bridge:]
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.

[Chorus:]
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.
