Foy Vance
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
