From the recording Songs with Peter Monk
Peter Monk gave this lyric to Donna Jean Godchaux after Keith died. Many years later, she gave it to me.

Lyrics
Sang Real
The cup of kindness overflowed
The wine spilled out, but there was more…
Please don’t think that I’m unkind
To pass so quickly through your mind
I tried to find you anyhow
I tried…
The cup of kindness overflowed
The wine spilled out, but there was more…
Holiness I once held dear
Got kicked around and disappeared
Avoiding what the weather brings
I tried anything…
The cup of kindness overflowed
The wine spilled out, but there was more
Is this all we’ve got my friend
A long beginning at an end
I tried to find you anyhow
I tried everything
I tried everything
