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.
