Lyrics I'm On My Way (with Francesco Turrisi) - Rhiannon Giddens feat. Francesco Turrisi
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
