Streets Of Philadelphia Songtext / Lyric

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
