[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 a mourning 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
