Washington Lyrics
I feel something near
Is it misery or fear
It's a mystery unclear
What am I doing here
A breeze upon my face
Smells sweet as your embrace
A smile across my face
As I think about that place
And I feel like I know
What's going on
Like roses reach to
Kiss the morning dawn
I'm Washington tonight
And all is calm
I'm coming home to you
We're moving on
We rode upon a town
People all around
It's a good place to lay down
And I dream about you now
Holding pictures near
I think of you my dear
My body knows no fear
What am I doing here
Is it misery or fear
It's a mystery unclear
What am I doing here
Smells sweet as your embrace
A smile across my face
As I think about that place
What's going on
Like roses reach to
Kiss the morning dawn
I'm Washington tonight
And all is calm
I'm coming home to you
We're moving on
People all around
It's a good place to lay down
And I dream about you now
I think of you my dear
My body knows no fear
What am I doing here

This song is so beautiful...possibly the best on "Happy Ending"...but the meaning has perplexed me! I have no clue! Someone help!
I think this song is abut a man who has gone away, maybe on a long business trip or something, and it dawns on him how much he loves a particular woman in his life. He's coming back to Washington to be with her.
On the other hand, it could be some sort of reference to George Washington....although I really couldn'd figure that out if it was.
Yes, it's a beautiful song. I love the little mandolin riff.
