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

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
In case you should wonder
I'm in Washington Square
Washington Square
Washington Square

What is the Meaning of Washington Square?

It is a song about sacrifice. Sometimes we have to decide what to let go of, so that we can grasp onto something better. It can be sad if we focus on what we are leaving behind, but the artist in this situation seems to tell us that what is next may be nothing short of spectacular. As for the real Washington Square, it is a jewel of New York City. Please keep it safe, fun, and respectful for generations to come.
