Lyrics

Odetta

[Verse 1]

You were always trying to fill the void my brother

Habits old, tryna find that something new

Never still in the arms of a lover

Seeking darkness wherever light may shine through

[Pre-Chorus]

Along came the morning of another

Blindsided by a sweet surprise

[Chorus]

Odetta, don't you know

That you saved this young man's soul?

And he can watch you getting wise

And you go watch him growing old

[Verse 2]

You always searching for destruction

Now you bear 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 the morning 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
