Sirens ring, the shots ring outA stranger cries, screams out
loudI had my world strapped against my backI held my hands,
never knew how to actChorus:And the same black line that was
drawn on youWas drawn on meAnd now it's drawn me in6th
Avenue heartacheBelow me was a homeless manSingin' songs I
knew completeOn the steps alone, his guitar in handHis fifty
years, he stood where he stands(Chorus)Now walkin' home on
those streetsThe river winds move my feetThe subway steam, like
silhouettes in dreamsThey stood by me, just like
moonbeams(Chorus)Looked out the window, down upon that streetAnd
gone like a midnight was that manBut I seen his six strings laid
against that wallAnd all his things, they all look so smallI got
my fingers crossed on a shooting starJust like me- he just moved
on(chorus)
