about

For a friend, and all the kids with wandering feet and restless hearts.

lyrics

Here we are in New York City
All the neon looks so pretty
The witches are cackling, the punks are drunk in the gutter

Here we are at Coney Island
To gasp at the sideshow, then walk in the wet sand
Oh, sweet stranger, you set my heart a-flutter

CHORUS: We may never meet again, you know it might just never happen
But promise we’ll dance again, if we ever do
We may never meet again, you know it might just never happen
But when the world is ending, I’ll save my last waltz for you

Here we are in old Chicago
At a 4 a.m. bar, or a punk rock show
The ghosts are hugging me, saying their goodbyes

Here we are in Chinatown
Tonight, my sorrows can’t get me down
Cos oh, sweet stranger, you give me butterflies

CHORUS

Here we are, we’re down in Philly
Your suit is dapper, my dress is frilly
Someone has a flask, someone else brought confetti

Here we are on the cobblestone streets
I can hear the sound of every punk’s heartbeat
I’d fall in love with you, if you’d stick around long enough to let me

CHORUS

One Beer Prophet is a smoky-voiced siren from the trainyards of the Rust Belt. Pulling up the dark roots of Americana, she tells the stories of what happens after the train is hopped and the whiskey drank. She is skinned knees and dirt under your nails, the night you fell in love and the morning your heart was broken, 3am and another bottle of wine - or beer. ... more
