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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
