Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia lyrics

[Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia lyrics]

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
It was 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
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
