Bruce Springsteen Streets Of Philadelphila Lyrics

Streets Of Philadelphila 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
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
