Streets of Philadelphia

Streets of Philadelphia - Phil Leonard/Sally Rice

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

My clothes don't fit me no more

I walked a thousand miles

Just to slip this skin

The night has fallen I'm lying 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
