Wallflowers - 6th Avenue Heartache lyrics

rate me

Sirens ringthe shots ring out

A stranger criesscreams out loud

I had my world strapped against my back

I held my handsnever 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 alonehis guitar in hand

It's fifty yearsstood where he stands

Now walkin' home on those streets

The river winds move my feet

Subway steamlike silhouettes in dreams

They stood by mejust like moonbeams

Look out the windowdown upon that street

And gone like a midnight was that man

But I see his six strings laid against that wall

And all his thingsthey all look so small

I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star

Just like me-just moved on
