6th Avenue Heartache

[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
