Sixth Avenue Heartache — The Wallflowers

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 drawn 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 silhouettesin dreams They stood by me just like moonbeams

Look out the windowdown upon that street And gone like a midnight was that man But I see his six stringlaid against that wall And all those things, they looked so small I've got my fingers crossedon a shooting star Just like me, just moved on
