richie havens - streets of philadelphia lyrics

Loading...

i was bruised and battered and i couldn’t tell what i
felt
i was unrecognizable to myself
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
just as 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
and 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

- richie havens
