Destiny blues
(Eric Bibb)
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 is 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 is a winding road, you can't see around the bend.
And when the Blues takes you down, it feels like a dead end.
You know I dreamed I was walking down Broadway. Could have been Fenan Street.
Leadbelly's voice in my head, beat skipping to his beat.
There was a man, he had a story to tell.
Bringing us pure water, from deep down in the well.
He sang the midnight special: "Shine your light on me".
Midnight special: "Shine your - ever loving - light on me".
Midnight special: "Shine your light on me".
Midnight special: "Shine your - ever loving - light on me".
