Streets Of Philadelphia

Lyricist:     Composer:

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
