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
