Indiscriminate Act of Kindness - Foy Vance

She came from the cold wet

Dropped her luggage bags

Looked the concierge in the eye

Said, "I need a room for the night,

But I don't got no money.

Would you take payment of any kind?"

He said, "It's alright

I got a room here, you can share mine.

Make the bed in the morning and that'll do fine.

You can change in the bathroom,

Hang your clothes on the line."

A tear came to her eye

She thought how could he be so kind

How could he be so kind (x2)

She sat down on the bed with a needle

He said, "I'd hate to see you bleed,

Just fetch a warm towel,

I'll sit with you til you're dry."

She started to cry

Said, "Why? why? why? why? why? why?"

She was cold turkey

He was holding her hand

She said, "I was ruined by man,

This was never in my plans.

I dreamed of men who loved me,

Together we'd see the world.

Somehow I lost myself among the insults they hurled."

"I'm sure your a wonderful woman,

And someday there will surely be someone.

So just relax now, it's important that you're calm."

She said, "How is it you can see past me as I am?"

"When you took your chances,

It was like you placed a bet.

And sometimes this is the reward you can get.

I was always taught

If you see someone defiled,

You should look them in the eyes and smile,

And take their heart, no better yet

Take them home, home, home."

She awoke early in the morning

Made the bed, gathered up her clothes to leave

Saw the concierge curled on the settee

Said, "What you did for me was hard for me to believe."

"I was just doing what was right.

No one that knows love could leave you out there on such a night.

If you can help someone,

Bare this in mind

And consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness."
