Washington Square Lyrics - Saturday Nights And Sunday Mornings - Counting Crows

I sold my piano, it couldn't come with me 

I locked up my bedroom and I walked out into the air 

Nothing I needed is left there behind me 

I walk out through the shadows of Washington Square 

I wander the highways from Dublin to Berkeley 

And I heard the songbirds of Ballyporeen 

But I loved 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 

And 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
