Oh, brother, are you gonna leave me wasting away

On the streets of Philadelphia?

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
Am
It was just as black and whispering as the rain

It's just you and I, my friend

My clothes don't fit me no more

The night has fallen

I'm lying awake

I can feel myself fading away

So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Am
Or will we leave each other alone like this
