Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
6th Avenue heartache (Heartache)
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 3]
Oh-oh, oh
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 (They stood by me, stood by me, oh-whoa, ooh)
[Chorus]
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in (Yeah)
6th Avenue heartache (6th Avenue heartache)
[Chorus]
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in (Hey)
6th Avenue heartache, heartache (6th, 6th Avenue heartache)
[Bridge]
Look out the window, down upon that street
And gone like 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
[Chorus]
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 (Heartache)
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in (Yeah)
6th Avenue heartache, heartache (6th, 6th Avenue heartache)
Now it's drawn me in
Oh, and the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in (Yeah)
6th Avenue heartache, heartache (6th, 6th Avenue heartache)
