Night Bus Stranger, Held the Door

by Moth Static

“Someone held the door of the last bus for me when my arms were full. I think about them more than I should.”

Lyrics

I was running for the last bus
Arms full of bags and rain
Someone put a hand out
And held the door again

No one said a single word
Just a nod and a small smile
I sat down by the window
And I felt warm for a while

Thank you, stranger, for the door
Thank you, stranger, for the light
Thank you, stranger, for the door
You made it a softer night

Now the bus is rolling slowly
Past the shops all closed and dark
I think of that kind small moment
Like a gentle little spark

Thank you, stranger, for the door
Thank you, stranger, for the light
Thank you, stranger, for the door
You made it a softer night

Maybe I will hold a door
For somebody tomorrow
Pass the kindness down the line
Nobody in particular

Thank you, stranger, for the door
Thank you, stranger, for the light
Thank you, stranger, for the door
You made it a softer night

Thank you, stranger
For the door
