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 



Below me was a homeless man 

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
