Counting Crows Washington Square Lyrics

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
