Odetta Lyrics

[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 lightning shine through
[Pre-Chorus]
Alone came a 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

[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
It's far away such a broken man can go
[Pre-Chorus]
Alone came a 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 there
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
