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
