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


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 winds move 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 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
