ANONYMOUS FRIEND
(Written by Ben Antoniadis)

There’s a woman down the street
Told me she’s the whore of Babylon
But she’s only ever been good to me
So I told her that she’s not

She’s been to hell and back, it seems
Seen heaven in between
Days that burned like chapels ablaze and nights that shined serene

When I walk by, I stop to say hello
She always gives me a smile
A soul that glows with something of hope though walks a tortured mile

Today we both had a smoke and spoke of the End Times
She said the demons all been let outta hell and I told her she was right

But the passersby will walk on by and not see the warning signs
The truth before a blind man’s eyes that she sees in the coming light

She gave me a gift as I went on my way
A gift for anonymous friend
She slept outside the church last night and probably will again

Oh, the broken brother on the street
Do you give your last dollar?
Oh, the fallen sister, would you wash her feet and receive like any other?

There’s a woman down the street
She told me she’s the whore of Babylon
But she’s only ever been good to me
So I told her that she’s not

There’s a woman down the street
She told me she’s the whore of Babylon
But she’s only ever been good to me
