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

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

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

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

You know my soul craves for water
But my heart wants wine
Standing at the crossroads
I'm wondering which way is mine
Life's a winding road
You can't see around the bend
And when the blues takes you down
It feels likе a dead end
Just like a dеad end

Dreamed I was walking down Broadway
Could have been Fenan Street
Leadbelly's voice in my head
Beat skipping 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
