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
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
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 |
