Streets Of Philadelphia Songtext / Lyric

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 you gonna leave me wastin' away
On the streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenue'til my legs felt like stone
I heard voices of friends, vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
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
