Washington Square Lyrics

I sold my piano, it couldn't come with me I locked up my bedroom and I walked out into the air Nothing I needed is left there behind me I walk out through the shadows of Washington Square
I wander the highways from Dublin to Berkeley And I heard the songbirds of Ballyporeen But I loved like a fountain and it left me with nothing Just the memories of walking through Washington Square
Now I live in the shadows where light is electric And time is a number that rests on a wall And nobody knows me, my friends and my family Are as far from this city as Washington Square
So cover this warm night in a blanket of starlight And I'll follow this freeway out into the air In case you should wonder and wanted to find me I'm traveling homeward to Washington Square I'm traveling homeward to Washington Square Washington Square, Washington Square
