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


Now I wander the highway from Dublin to Berkeley
and I heard the songbirds of Valley Paurine
I love like a fountain

and it left me like nothing
just the memories of walking through Washington Square


Now I live in the shadows
where light is electric
and time is just a number



that rests on a wall

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
I will follow this freeway
out into the air

in case you should wonder
and wanted to find me
I'm traveling homeward to Washington Square

in case you should wonder
I'm in Washington Square
Washington Square

Washington Square
