The Wallflowers - Sixth Avenue Heartache lyrics

Sirens ring, shots ring out A stranger cries, and screams out loud I had my world strapped against my back I held my hands, never knew how to act And that same black line that was drawn on you It was drawn on me And now it's drawin' me in....sixth 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 wind moves 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 string laid against that wall And all those things, they looked so small I've got my fingers crossed on a shooting star Just like me, just moved on
