Philadelphia

Like a gunshot from miles away She's moving in Like a rainstorm without the clouds She falls on you Like a phone call to warn the truth It never rings It's the truth before the lies It's the way she doesn't try It's the wink before the sly 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 guilt was deafening It's the truth before the lies It's the way she doesn't try It's the wink before the sly In Philadelphia, in Philadelphia She thought that love was gonna fight She thought that love was gonna take her home She thought that love was gonna save her But love just never showed She felt that love was always watching Oh, we learned that love was supposed to wait But sometimes it's the feelings That are standing in the air He slips off his worn out suit And tries to rest She's a million miles away Across the bed She rolls over, 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 sly In Philadelphia, in Philadelphia In Philadelphia
