about
Francesca Blanchard covers Bruce Springsteen's "Streets of Philadelphia"
lyrics
I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window and I didn't know my own face
Oh brother, you gonna leave me wastin' away
On the streets of Philadelphia.
I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone,
Heard the voices of friends, vanish and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins,
It was black and whispering as the rain,
On the streets of Philadelphia.
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
Just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more,
A thousand miles just to slip this skin
The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake,
And I can feel myself fade away,
And so receive me brother with your faithless kiss,
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window and I didn't know my own face
Oh brother, you gonna leave me wastin' away
On the streets of Philadelphia.
I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone,
Heard the voices of friends, vanish and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins,
It was black and whispering as the rain,
On the streets of Philadelphia.
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
Just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more,
A thousand miles just to slip this skin
The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake,
And I can feel myself fade away,
And so receive me brother with your faithless kiss,
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia
