Lyrics of 6th Avenue Heartache by The Wallflowers
verse
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
verse
And below me was a homeless man
I'm singin' songs, I knew complete
On the steps alone, his guitar in hand
It's 50 years, he stood where he stands
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
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 (heartache)
verse
Now walkin' home on those streets
The river winds move my feet
Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams
They stood by me (they stood by me)
(They stood by me, oh) just like moonbeams
chorus
And the same black line
That was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in (yeah)
6th Avenue heartache (6th Avenue heartache) heartache
chorus
And the same black line
That was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in (yeah)
6th Avenue (6th, 6th Avenue heartache) heartache
verse
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
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 (heartache), heartache
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 (6th Avenue heartache), heartache
And now it's drawn me in
chorus
Oh, and the same black line
That was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue (6th, 6th Avenue heartache) heartache, heartache
