Streets of Philadelphia, by Bruce Springsteen
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
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 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 Streets Of Philadelphia
