Streets Of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen

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
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
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 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
