Foy Vance - Indiscriminate act of kindess lyrics

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?" Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness (x3) 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?" Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness (x3) "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. " Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness (x7)
