6th Avenue Heartache Songtext
von The Wallflowers

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

And the same black line
That was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it′s drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache

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

And the same black line
That was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache


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)

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

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

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


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

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

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

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
