I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell what I felt I was unrecognizable to myself Saw my reflection in a window I didn't know my own face Oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting away On the streets of Philadelphia
I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone I heard the 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
Blue Emptiness
Life is a wonder, I've entered the gate Time can be healing if you just learn to wait Pain makes tears flow but it tells you to pray And the night is our fortress when we're tired of the day
Opposite thoughts make me wonder sometimes Is there something out there I don't know
But your smile makes me wonder, did you mean what you said And a million thoughts went through my head Your words make me cry and laugh I guess I am caught in an ocean of blue emptiness
Faith is stronger where weakness rules Changes will open your eyes when it hurts A coin has another side staring at you And love causes freedom and prison in you
Opposite thoughts make me wonder sometimes Is there something out there I don't know
But your smile makes me wonder, did you mean what you said And a million thoughts went through my head Your words make me cry and laugh I guess I am caught in an ocean of blue emptiness
But the faith and the trust and your strength is my harbour Faith, trust and love, I carry within me
But your smile makes me wonder, did you mean what you said And a million thoughts went through my head Your words make me cry and laugh I guess I am caught in an ocean of blue emptiness
