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, gonna leave me wasting away
In the streets of Philadelphia
I walk in the avenue,
´Tell my legs feel like stone.
I heard voices of friends vanished and gone,
At night I hear the blood in my veine
This is black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia

And an angel gonna greet me
It´s just you and I my friend
And my clothes don´t fit me no more
I walked 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
