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  submitted by Fuensanta Lozano corrected on 12-11-2004 |

 424 posts | Definitely one of the best songs ever written. Not a typical Bruce-rock song, but without a doubt a song that touches every single heart. I don't know a single soul who left the movie theater without dry eyes... |

195 posts | 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. |

28 posts | 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. |
