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
