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".
