Francesco Turrisi ft. Rhiannon Giddens - I'm On My Way

I'M ON MY WAY (written by Rhiannon Giddens & Joe Henry) I'm watching from my window the curtain coming down A blue as black as morning, a silence like a sound That rattles at the cages, that hold my heart and mind That call my name to wonder just what I hope to find. That bird so high above the fray, what should he mean to me? His crooked song gone crazy in the swaying arms of trees That wave to me like the hungry waitin’ for the tide, My tipping boat still hopin' I might reach the other side. I don't know where I’m going, but I'm on my way, Lord, if you love me, keep me, I pray. A little bird is stretching out to the shimmering, shaking blue, Don't know where I'm going but I know what to do. I don't know the hour that finds me in this room, Dust around my feet and still no sugar in my spoon But I've only got the taste for something sweet as time Not bottled on the table but still hanging on the vine. I don't know where I'm going, but I’m on my way, Lord, if you love me, keep me, I pray. A little bird is stretching out to the shimmering, shaking blue, Don’t know where I'm going but I know what to do, I don’t know where I'm going but I know what to do, I don't know where I'm going but I know what to do.
