Streets of Philadelphia --- Bruce Springsteen

Haunting song from a brilliant movie!! By the Boss!! 'Nuf said!!






I was bruised and battered and 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 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,
Black and whispering as the rain,
On the streets of Philadelphia!

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
Its just you and I my friend,
My clothes don't fit me no more,
I walked a thousand miles,
Just to slip the skin!

The night has fallen, 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!
