The Square

Counting Crows - 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

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

I'm in Washington Square

Washington Square
