Philadelphia

Like a gun shot from miles away she's moving in Like a rain storm without the clouds, she falls on him Like a phone call to warn the troop that never rings It's the truth before the lies It's the way she doesn't try It's the wink before the slide In Philadelphia In Philadelphia They met after work one day she laughed with him They drove off their separate ways then met for drinks When he got home the silent gift was deafening It's the truth before the lies It's the way she doesn't try It's the wink before the slide In Philadelphia In Philadelphia She thought that love was going to fight She thought that love was going to take her home She thought love was going to save her But love just never showed She thought love was always watching All we learned that love was supposed to win, But sometimes it's the demons, That are standing in the end He slips off his worn out suit and tries to rest She's a million miles away across the bend She rolls over and puts her hand across his chest It's the truth before the lies It's the way she doesn't try It's the wink before the slide In Philadelphia In Philadelphia In Philadelphia Oh --- Philadelphia - Parachute
