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
