COUNTING CROWS - Washington Square lyrics

rate me

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 Valley Paurine

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
