Counting Crows - 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 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
