STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA

 

I was bruised and battered and

I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window

I didn't know my own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me

wasting away
On the streets of Philadelphia

 

I walked the avenue till my

legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends

vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia

 

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
just to slip this skin

 

The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your

faithless kiss
or will we leave each other

alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia
