It couldn't come with me
I locked up my bedroom
And I walked out into the air
When nothing I needed
Is left there behind me
I walk out through the shadows
Of Washington Square
I wandered the highways from Dublin to Berkeley
And I heard the songbirds of Ballyporeen
But I love 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
Then 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
I sold my piano It couldn't come with me I locked up my bedroom And I walked out into the air When nothing I needed Is left there behind me I walk out through the shadows Of Washington Square I wandered the highways from Dublin to Berkeley And I heard the songbirds of Ballyporeen But I love 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 Then 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 Explain Request ×
