Streets of Philadelphia Garland Jeffreys

I was bruised and battered, couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window, didn't know my own face
Oh, brother, are you gonna leave me wasting away
On the streets of Philadelphia, oh-oh
On the streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone
I heard voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood rushing through my vein
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia, oh-oh
On the streets of Philadelphia

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I, my friend
And my clothes, they don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin

The night has fallen and I'm lying 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
