(Emmylou Harris)
|
You gave yourself up to the mystery
|
And sailed the oceans looking for
|
The secret of the key
|
To unlock a truth that you may never find
|
For it was m a cup of kindness all the time
|
|
You feel the thirst
|
But none can make you drink
|
The answer's waiting for you here but
|
It's not what you think
|
It won't steal your soul or leave you blind
|
It was just a cup of kindness all the time
|
|
And when Mother Mary finally comes to cal
|
She could pass right thru your heart
|
And leave no trace at all
|
While you were reaching for
|
The sacred and divine
|
She was standing right beside you
|
All the time
|
|
And the emptiness
|
You can't seem to fill
|
Beauty fades and pleasures cannot
|
Take away the chili
|
And the glamour lures you down into a lie
|
O but the cup of kindness
|
Never will run dry
|
|
You hear the vandals
|
Howlin' down your walls
|
And arm yourself against the ones
|
Who want to see you fall
|
Till some Holy Grail reveals
|
The grand design
|
Well it was in a cup of kindness
|
All the time
|
