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».

I hope I got everything right.
