6th Avenue Heartache

Sirens ring, the shots ring out
A stranger cries, screams out loud
I had my world strapped against my back
I held my hands, never knew how to actAnd the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6Th Avenue heartacheBelow me was a homeless man
I'm singin' songs I knew complete
On the steps alone, his guitar in hand
It's fifty years, stood where he standsAnd the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6Th Avenue heartacheNow walkin' home on those streets
The river winds move my feet
Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams
They stood by me, just like moonbeamsAnd the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6Th Avenue heartacheLook out the window, down upon that street
And gone like a midnight was that man
But I see his six strings laid against that wall
And all his things, they all look so small
I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star
Just like me-just moved onAnd the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6Th Avenue heartache
