Streets of Philadelphia (From "Philadelphia")

Streets of Philadelphia - Various Artists

I was bruised and battered I couldn't tell

What I felt

I was unrecognizable to myself

I saw my reflection in a window I didn't know

My own face

Oh brother are you gonna leave me

Wastin' away

On the streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone

I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone

At night I could hear the blood in my veins

Black and whispering as the rain

In the streets of Philadelphia

Ain't no angel gonna greet me

It's just you and I my friend

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
