Kind Man

She's siting in a room on the second floor

Waiting for this guy to knock on her door

The lady is swell but the room is cheap

And the man she's meeting doesn't look like me

You said that you were true

That you wouldn't be deceiving

But your meeting in this room

Means that you are cheating

Chorus

Do you think that I'm a fool?

Or maybe just a blind man?

No, no, I'm just a kind man

Who's had enough of you

Fool, you threw away some good love

Hearts that you can be sure of

Are so hard to find

She always gets home at a quarter to two

From a friend downtown she says she's been to

She says sleep well and kisses my cheek

But the scent she's wearing was no present from me

You said that you were true

You wouldn't be deceiving

But what about this room

And the man you've been meeting

(Chorus)

I gaze at these streets

Full of windbags and cheats

The promise of gold

That only bankrupts your soul

It wasn't my game

This mad city life

So I'm on my way

To where the land meets the sky
