6th Avenue Heartache Lyrics
[00:26.19] Sirens ring, the shots ring out
[00:32.24] A stranger cries, screams out loud
[00:38.62] I had my world strapped against my back
[00:45.18] I held my hands, never knew how to act
[00:51.93] And the same black line
[00:53.72] That was drawn on you
[00:55.65] Was drawn on me
[00:57.76] And now it's drawn me in
[01:00.77] 6th Avenue heartache
[01:05.40]
[01:17.29] And below me was a homeless man
[01:23.48] I'm singin' songs, I knew complete
[01:29.73] On the steps alone, his guitar in hand
[01:36.42] It's 50 years, he stood where he stands
[01:43.29] And the same black line
[01:44.98] That was drawn on you
[01:46.70] Was drawn on me
[01:48.90] And now it's drawn me in
[01:52.06] 6th Avenue heartache
[01:56.03] And the same black line
[01:57.57] That was drawn on you
[01:59.62] Was drawn on me
[02:01.65] And now it's drawn me in
[02:04.65] 6th Avenue heartache (heartache)
[02:09.78]
[02:21.28] Now walkin' home on those streets
[02:27.67] The river winds move my feet
[02:33.96] Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams
[02:40.47] They stood by me (they stood by me)
[02:43.16] (They stood by me, oh) just like moonbeams
[02:47.33] And the same black line
[02:48.72] That was drawn on you
[02:50.76] Was drawn on me
[02:52.94] And now it's drawn me in (yeah)
[02:56.08] 6th Avenue heartache (6th Avenue heartache) heartache
[03:00.05] And the same black line
[03:01.69] That was drawn on you
[03:03.43] Was drawn on me
[03:05.79] And now it's drawn me in (yeah)
[03:08.84] 6th Avenue (6th, 6th Avenue heartache) heartache
[03:15.45]
[03:38.38] Look out the window, down upon that street
[03:43.96] And gone like a midnight was that man
[03:50.54] But I see his six strings laid against that wall
[03:56.98] And all his things, they all look so small
[04:03.17] I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star
[04:10.06] Just like me, just moved on
[04:16.87] And the same black line
[04:18.56] That was drawn on you
[04:20.36] Was drawn on me
[04:22.46] And now it's drawn me in
[04:25.73] 6th Avenue heartache (heartache), heartache
[04:29.80] And the same black line
[04:31.13] That was drawn on you
[04:33.15] Was drawn on me
[04:35.35] And now it's drawn me in
[04:38.48] 6th Avenue heartache (6th Avenue heartache), heartache
[04:48.13] And now it's drawn me in
[04:50.57]
[04:53.73] Oh, and the same black line
