The Wallflowers - 6th Avenue Heartache Lyrics

Send "6th Avenue Heartache" ringtones to your cell

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 

And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache

And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache

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 

And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache

And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache

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 

And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache

And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache

And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache
