streets of philadelphia from philadelphia (1993)
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
