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
And the same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me
And now, it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache (heartache)
Below me, there was a homeless man
I'm singin' songs I knew complete
On the steps, alone, his guitar in hand
Its fifty years stood where he stands
And 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 6th Avenue heartache (heartache)
Aaaaaaah...
Now, walkin' home on those streets
The river winds, they move my feet
The subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams
They stood by me, just like moonbeams (stood by me, stood by me, oooh)
And the same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me
And now, it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache (yeah, 6th Avenue heartache)
And the same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me
And now, it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache (yeah, 6th, 6th Avenue heartache)
Oooooooh...
Aaaaaaah...
Aaaaaaah...
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 (la la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la)
And all his things, they all look so small (la la 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 la la)
Just like me, just moved on (la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la)
And the same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me
And now, it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache (6th Avenue heartache)
And the same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me
And now, it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache (yeah, 6th, 6th Avenue heartache)
Now, it's drawn me here
Ooooooh...
And the same black line that was drawn on you was drawn on me
And now, it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache (yeah, 6th, 6th Avenue heartache)
