Cup Of Kindness Lyrics - 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 call 

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. 

Photos 

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...
