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 |

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. |
