Wallflowers - Sixth Avenue Heartache lyrics

rate me

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
