Song lyrics

Send "Streets Of Philadelphia" ringtones to your cell

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 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

28 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this song rocks. Its so sad. I remember the first time i heard this song it was used on Aids Day in a commercial I was in on the radio. Oh I just listened to it and i cried and cried and cried. With the lalalaa's his voice kinda fades and re echoes...kinda scary. Ghostly, sort of.

195 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Did he win an Oscar because of this song? Not sure about it, but he deserved it. It's superb, so heartbreaking. It's a poem about loneliness and helplessness.
