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
