Streets of Philadelphia (From "Philadelphia") - Hollywood Session Group

Streets of Philadelphia:

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
