Mavis Staples Godspeed
[Verse 1]
I will always love you
How I do
Let go of a prayer for you
Just a sweet word
The table is prepared for you
[Verse 2]
Wishing you godspeed, glory
There will be mountains you won't move
Still, I'll always be there for you
How I do
I let go of my claim on you, it's a free world
You look down on where you came from sometimes
But you'll have this place to call home, always
Always
Always
[Outro]
This love will keep us through the blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
A lot of people get love wrong
They think of love as capturing or being captured
To catching a fish and kissing a claw
Baiting someone into being yours
Your love is the one with the claws
It is completely lawless
And feeling so supernatural, it looks like a lot
This love will keep us through the blinding of the eyes
