Streets of Philadelphia
Was bruised and batteredAnd I couldn't tell what I feltI was unrecognizable to myselfSaw my reflection in a windowI didn't know my own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting awayOn the streets of Philadelphia
I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stoneI heard the voices of friends vanished and goneAt night I could hear the blood in my veinsJust as black and whispering as the rainOn the streets of Philadelphia
Ain't no angel gonna greet meIt's just you and I my friendAnd my clothes don't fit me no moreI walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin
The night has fallen, I'm lying awakeI can feel myself fading awaySo receive me brother with your faithless kissOr will we leave each other alone like thisOn the streets of Philadelphia
