lyrics

Why pour your heart into a leaky cup
And expect it to fill and brim at the top
You hold out your hands as if to receive
A thing that never could be given

And why go a looking if you cannot see
And expect that somewhere you’ll find beauty
After a hope you chase and you grasp
A thing that never could be gotten

I knew a man who never could be pleased
Not a thing that he did could bring his heart ease
He made himself a fine life with a fine house and wife
But never could he fully live it

I knew a woman who couldn’t find her home
There was no place she’d stay
But always she’d roam
Such a lady to be sure any place could be hers
It was only that she didn’t know it

But I’ve known those too, who’ve awoken to view
A full beauty that is ever-present
It is there you find home and you are never alone
Even when life can be so lonely
