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 act |
| Chorus: |
| And the same black line that was drawn on you |
| Was drawn on me |
| And now it’s drawin' me in |
| 6th Avenue heartache |
| Below 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 stands |
| Now walkin' home on those streets |
| The river winds move my feet |
| Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams |
| They stood by me, just like moonbeams |
| Look 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 on |
