Odetta

Written by：Rory Graham/Foy Vance

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

Alone came a morning of another

Blind sided by your sweet surprise

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

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

Alone came a morning of another

Blind sided by your sweet surprise

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

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

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
