Bed For the Night

[Verse 1]
He was standing on the corner
As the sun was goin' down
He was lookin' for a contact
He had just arrived in town
With his suitcase full of emptiness
His clothes all worn and tired
And he was lookin' for a bed for the night

[Verse 2]
And he had a list of numbers
That had slipped out of his hands
An uncle lived in somewhere out in Manchester he said
He had come out of a country
Where the tunnels had no lights
He was lookin' for a bed for the night

[Chorus]
Just a bed for the night
Somewhere warm 'til the mornin' light and
He was lookin' for a bеd for the night

[Verse 3]
And then standing in the doorway
Was a man callеd Father John
He said, "Come in from the cold
And sit you down there, my good man"
And the small talk was of football
And the tea tasted so right
When he was lookin' for a bed for the night

[Chorus]
Just a bed for the night
Somewhere warm 'til the mornin' light and
He was lookin' for a bed for the night

[Verse 4]
Something in this situation made me realize
That there is always someone
With the kindness in their eyes
And if Father John should hear me
And who knows he just might
And we'd say thank you for that bed for the night

[Chorus]
Just a bed for the night
Somewhere warm 'til the mornin' light and
He was lookin' for a bed for the night
Just a bed for the night
Somewhere warm 'til the mornin' light
He was lookin' for a bed for the night
