Destiny Blues

Five in the morning
Baby, I can't sleep
Without a warning
Blues took my soul so deep

Sometimes, baby, my destiny
Feels like such a mystery to me

Sittin' here thinkin'
Can't tell you what about
Wish I could speak my mind
But the words won't come out

It's like the kitchen's full of food
Still, I'm hungry all the time
I know God's on my side
So why am I waitin' for another sign?

Sometimes, baby, my destiny
Feels like such a mystery to me

My soul craves for water
But my heart wants wine
Standin' at the crossroads
I'm wonderin' which way is mine

Life's a windin' road
You can't see around the bend
And when the blues takes you down
It feels like a dead end
It feels like a dead end, ooh

I dreamed I was walkin' down Broadway
Could've been Fenan Street
Leadbelly's voice in my head
Beat skippin' to his beat

Now there was a man
He had a story to tell
Bringing us pure water
From deep down in the well
Deep down in the well

Sometimes, baby, my destiny
Feels like such a mystery to me, hmm
