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?
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, Black and whispering as the rain On the streets of Philadelphia
I was bruised and battered, 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?
