6th Avenue Heartache

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The 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 act [Chorus] And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in A 6th Avenue heartache [Verse 2] Below me was a homeless man A-singin' songs I knew complete On the steps alone, his guitar in hand His fifty years stood where he stands [Chorus] And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in A 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in A 6th Avenue heartache [Verse 3] Now walkin' home on those streets The river winds move my feet Subway steam like silhouettes in dreams Stood by me (Stood by me, stood by me) just like moonbeams (All way) [Chorus] And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in A 6th Avenue heartache Ooh [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Look out the window down upon that street And gone like a midnight was that man But I see his six string laid against that wall (La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la) And all these things, they all look so small (La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la) I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star (La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la) Just like me, just moved on (La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la) [Chorus] And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in A 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in A 6th Avenue heartache Yeah, the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in A 6th Avenue heartache [Instrumental Outro]
