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
