Washington Square - Heidi Berry

Fly by night, across dark water

Over the clouds, through space and time

Come and look for me

By the arch and the wading pool

By the old men at the tables in the winter time

That’s where I’ll be

And I’m always here

In Washington Square Park

It’s like two trains running in two tunnels

Suddenly all is light

And your train comes into view

Face so close, see your breath on the glass

I’ll follow your eyes

As you veer away into the dark

And I’ll still be here

In Washington Square Park

No, no, do not grieve for a story never told

You see, that I’m still the child

It’s you who’s growing old

You’re growing old

And I’m always here

In Washington Square Park
