Lyrics Mavis Staples

Mavis Staples

One True Vine

I was last in line

For the one true vine

Endless winding thread

I was dead at first

I had done my worst

And you came to me

Life had ceased

I was lost and tired

You set me free

From this mighty, mighty fire

Just in time to be

My one true vine

You still come to me

And you comfort me

The only one that I believe

I trust you

I hope that someday you will

Trust me too

I wanna be what you are to me

Life had ceased

I was lost and tired

You set me free from

This mighty, mighty fire

Just in time to be

My one true vine

I was last in line

For the one true vine

Endless winding thread

I was dead at first

I had done my worst

And you came to me

Life had ceased

I was lost and tired

You set me free

From this mighty, mighty fire

Just in time to be

My one true vine
