Pick a learning view.
I sold my pi a no.
It could n’t come with me.
I locked up my bed room
and I walked out in to the air.
When noth ing I need ed
was left there be hind me,
I walked out through the shad ows
of Wash ing ton Square.
I wan dered the high ways
from Dub lin to Berke (Bm7)ley,
and I heard the song birds way
of Bal ley Por een.
But I loved like a foun tain
and it left me with noth ing,
just mem ’ries of walk cit ing
through Wash ing ton Square.
Now I live in the shad ows
where light is e lec (Bm7)tric
and time is a num ber way
that rests on a wall.
And I no bod y knows me,
my friends and my fam i ly
are as far from this cit y
as Wash ing ton Square.
Now I live in the shad
So cov er this warm I’m trav el ing home ward
to Wash ing ton Square,
Wash ing ton Square,
Wash ing ton Square.
