Sirens ring shots ring out
Stranger cries, screams out loud
I had my world strapped against my back
I held my hands and never knew how to act
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me and now its drawn me in
Sixth avenue heartache
Below me was a homeless man
I'm singing songs I knew complete
On steps alone
His guitar in hand
It's fifty years stood where he stands
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me and now its drawn me in
Sixth avenue heartache
Yeah the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me and now its drawn me in
Sixth avenue heartache
Now walking home
On those streets
River winds move my feet
Subway steam like silhouettes in dreams
They stood by me just like moonbeams
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me and now its drawn me in
Sixth avenue heartache
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
And all his things they all look so small
I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star
Just like me, just moved on
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me and now its drawn me in
Sixth avenue heartache
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me and now its drawn me in
Sixth avenue heartache
Yeah the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me and now its drawn me in
Sixth avenue heartache
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me and now its drawn me in
Sixth avenue heartache
