Indiscriminate Act Of Kindness Songtext
von Foy Vance

She came in from the cold, dropped her luggage bags
Looks at the concierge in the eye
Said, "I need a room for the night, but I don′t got, no money
Would you take payment in kind?"

He said, "It's alright, I got a room here, you can share mine
Make the bed in the morning and that will do fine
You can change in the bathroom, hang your clothes on the line"
A tear came to her eyes, she thought, "How could he be so kind?"
How could he be so kind?
How could he be so kind?

She sat down on the bed with a needle
And he said, "I would hate to see you bleed out
Just fetch a warm towel and then sit here ′til you're dry"
She started to cry, said, "Why, why, why, why, why, why?"

Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness


She was cold turkey, he was holding her hand
She said, "I was ruined by a man, this was never in my plans
I've dreamed of men who loved me, together we′d see the world
Somehow I lost myself among the insults they hurled"

I′m sure you're a wonderful woman
And someday there will surely be someone
So just relax, 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
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness

′Til when you took your chances, it was like you placed a bet
And sometimes this is the reward you can get
Well, I was always taught, "If you see someone defiled
You should look them in the eye and smile
Take their heart, no better still
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
And said, what you did for me is hard for me to believe


I was just doing what was right
Nobody that knows love could leave you out there on such a night
If you can help someone, bear this in mind
And consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness

Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
I consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness

Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
Of kindness
