Odetta Lyrics - Rag'n'bone Man

You were always tryna fill the void, my brother 

A habit so old, tryna find that something new 

Never stare in the arms of a lover 

Seeking darkness wherever light may shine through 

Along came a morning of another 

Blindsided by your sweet surprise 

Odetta, don't you know 

That you saved this young man's soul? 

And he can watch you getting wise 

And you can 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 

Along came a morning of another 

Blindsided by your sweet surprise 

Odetta, don't you know 

That you saved this young man's soul? 

And he can watch you getting wise 

And you can watch him growing old 

You got to hold him close 

Odetta, don't you ever let him go 

Might be a long, wide road 

Although we may need you then we need you now more than ever
